As we all know the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. They should have a good well-rounded education to prepare them for whatever career they may choose. As a high school science teacher, I often saw the apprehension and sometimes fear students have when entering the high school sciences. Children should grow up having an appreciation of science, not fearing it.
My sister is a full-time homeschooling mom of four children and I have a young child that I will be homeschooling soon. For many years my sister searched for a science curriculum that would meet her needs of a busy homeschooling mom. She was discouraged with the curriculum that was all reading, lots of teacher preparation, or almost no hands-on experiments. When she did find one with experiments, she spent many days trying to find the materials for the experiment; just to realize that no one carried that certain chemical, except specialty companies. So, now she has the curriculum and finally the chemicals. Her children perform the experiment and they watch to see what happens. Did it turn out right? They hope so, because the curriculum does not tell them what should happen. After much frustration, she approached me to design a science curriculum that covered everything a child should know and provided hands-on experiments without having extensive prep time or purchasing time for the teacher/parent.
After doing several marketing studies, I developed Science Excursion, an elementary/middle school science curriculum that will grant the K-8th grade student a fun and exciting science experience while providing them with information that will help them easily transition to the advanced sciences: biology, chemistry & physics. I had discovered that there are science books that explain it, some that show it (without the materials), and some that help you learn it, however, Science Excursion puts all of these three together. Your child will obtain an excitement for science by using Science Excursion Curriculum and you, as the parent, will have almost no preparation time in reading the lesson plans or finding the required materials.
