Self-Paced Courses

As a long-time science teacher, I knew that many students started my class “hating” science, viewing science as little more than facts to memorize to pass a test. I knew I had to change that. Science is everywhere and is best learned by discovering and exploration. Whenever possible, I helped students understand the science that they use each day and helped make science relevant.

While that was great for the students in my classes, I wanted to be able to provide the same material to other homeschooling families. That’s why I created myself-paced science courses.

Each of my online science courses is self-paced. This means that a student can progress through the course as quickly as they wish.

Rather than a full curriculum, the science courses are more of a deep dive into certain topic.  The courses can be used as stand-alone studies, or can be used to supplement science curriculum a student may already be learning.

The format is a mix of reading and videos. Vocabulary terms are incorporated throughout the text which the students can record using the provided worksheets.*

Each online course also includes opportunities for hands-on exploration. Directions for optional experiments are included (many using items on-hand, but some require items that can be purchased by vendors such as Amazon or Home Science Tools).

The content of the self-paced courses goes above and beyond what is typically presented in textbooks. Students are amazed to discover the fascinating processes taking place in their bodies and in the world around them.
