Most of the science units do not need to be taught in any particular order. They are designed for you to choose when you want to teach each subject.
Most pages in the science units are non-consumable, such as mini books, instructions to the teacher, charts, experiment instructions, and so on. However, each unit contains a small number of pages that are consumable, such as worksheets for the children.
You only need to purchase one copy per family or group. The printed packets will also come with a PDF download of the unit so that you may print any additional pages you’ll need if teaching more than one child.
The science units do not need to be taught in any particular order. They are designed for you to choose when you want to teach each subject. Each unit has a varying number of lessons, and each will take a different amount of time to complete. We recommend that you complete at least 2 science lessons a week. Each unit includes 6–24 lessons.
Science units are not spiral-bound because so many pages need to be cut, removed, or copied. Units are not three-hole punched because they contain items such as mini books and vocabulary-wall words. Many customers hole-punch their units after removing the portions they’d like to keep whole and use a 3-ring binder to keep everything organized.

Our science units are designed for children in grades K–6 with extensions for grades 7–8. Many young children enjoy science and may begin when they are kindergarten age.
Yes, our lesson extensions are sufficient for 7th and 8th graders. You may take a look at the lesson extensions in the sample pages for each unit. We do not have plans to release science courses for grades 7–8. However, we do have optional books for 7th and 8th graders that accompany select units and and which give students practice reading more difficult science material. We are currently working on additional books for the remainder of the units.
When printing the science units, make sure you print the consumable pages single-sided. This will include vocabulary words, mini books, and activity sheets. Lessons may be printed double-sided, but our physical copies are all sent single-sided.
