The World's Number One
Science Program

How can we make that claim? First, a group of scientists did extensive research and testing and identified several countries as being the best in producing top scoring children, and more importantly produces children who garner the best jobs in the world.

Second, with additional analysis, scientists figured out exactly what those countries are doing right. They put together guidelines and published their results as the A+ Country Guidelines.

So we started with that. We got curriculum from the top two scoring countries (unfortunately America always comes out nearly dead last). These countries are constantly competing for the number one and number two spot.

After having them translated, we applied the A+ Country Guidelines to see how they were doing it, and what they were doing. So the basis of our curriculum is from the best in the world! We made that our starting point.

The Secret Ingredient -- Homeschool Spice

So we started with the best curriculum in the world, and to make it the #1 curriculum in the world, we added our secret ingredient: Homeschool-Style!

We homeschoolers aren't tied down to teaching 30 children at the same time, at the same speed, with the same book, in exactly the same way. Hey, we homeschoolers aren't stuck in that trap!

So we did what any normal homeschooler would do. We added multimedia from lots of resources, videos, library resources, interactive games from the Internet and anything else fun we could get our hands on.

Homeschool-Style Spice: Multiple Age Groups

Most of us homeschoolers have children with different ages. I have three: 7, 9 and 11. So we need to be able to teach them all at the same time. So each curriculum is designed to speak to them all at the same time.

Homeschool-Style Spice: Kitchen Experiments

Homeschoolers also don't have fancy labs, and I broke my bunsen burner last week :-)

So we included lots and lots of hands-on experiments based on stuff you have in your kitchen or the backyard. This way, your children can learn and UNDERSTAND the concepts by getting dirty.

If you are like us and lots of homeschoolers I know, you hate to stay clean. A few hours at the desk, then we have to get dirty to make that learning sink in! It's my firm belief that if you aren't making some sort of mess, noise or explosion then the ideas aren't REAL!

Homeschool-Style Spice: The Real World Application

Since we like to go and DO things after we learn about them, each science topic is related to a real-world application that your child can actually do and think about. Science is all around us, so let's interact with it as we learn it!

So we go to great pains to make sure each topic relates to something right around you, in your backyard, in your kitchen, under your feet or crawling all over you ;-)

I Heard That This Science Program Is FREE!

Yes, that's correct. The state of science in America is alarmingly bad, and that's being polite. We are actually almost dead last in the world, only beating Mexico, South Africa and occassionally Iran.

So in good conscience, we could not stand by and allow that trend to continue. We can't fix the world, but we can fix homeschoolers. So we will be releasing it for free! For details on the whole story please go to our Red Alert section.

How Does The Free Version Work
Every friday we will be releasing a unit to the public for free! It will only be available for a few days. We need to do this to control our bandwidth. This sceince program is so important, we are making it available to the public, but this is the only way we can afford to do it. Of course, eFantasmic Members get access to everything, anytime.

Scope and Sequence
This is only a partial list. Also, some units are more complex than others, and will be broken into smaller sub-units.  The idea is that each lesson is bite-sized and should take no more than 20 minutes.

IMPORTANT: For the free version, be sure you are subscribed to our partner newsletter HomeschoolFreeStuff.com. That is where we will be announcing when each new unit is being made available for free.
