Discover the wonders of life science with our Science Unit - Living Organisms, a homeschool science curriculum designed for families to explore the intricacies of plant and animal biology over three weeks. Engage with the vibrant world around you through a structured sequence of activities that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world observation. For instance, embark on a local survey to uncover the biodiversity in your own backyard, noting the remarkable adaptations and structures that allow varied species to thrive.

Key Features

• Critical Thinking: Analyze cellular structures up close, and challenge your understanding of biological functions as you dissect plant and animal specimens.
• Creativity: Embrace scientific inquiry by creating detailed cell organelle models, simulating photosynthesis, and conducting growth response experiments, which not only solidify comprehension but also stimulate imaginative learning.
• Hands-on Learning: Investigate plant tropisms hands-on, experiment with yeast to demonstrate respiration, and witness the stages of plant reproduction from pollination to germination in your at-home lab.
• Interdisciplinary Connections: Merge biology with environmental science as you study symbiotic relationships within ecosystems, delve into animal behaviors, and engage in a culminating research project on an organism that captures your curiosity.

Light the spark of lifelong learning with our meticulously crafted unit, where students not only amass scientific knowledge but also cultivate an appreciation for the living tapestry that is our natural world. Whether dissecting, model-making, or presenting newfound insights, this curriculum empowers young learners to connect with science in a tangible way.
