5 Important Questions to Ask When Choosing Homeschool Science Curriculum

1. Does it include engaging hands-on learning?

A quality science curriculum includes experiments and activities that foster hands-on learning. Practical experiences allow students to apply scientific concepts and develop problem-solving skills.

Apologia provides numerous hands-on experiments using common household items, making it simple for families to conduct lab activities at home.

Our curriculum features both:

  • Controlled Experiments: Formulating hypotheses, collecting data, and analyzing results.
  • Descriptive Experiments: Conducting observations through field studies, microscopy work, and dissections.

This well-rounded approach ensures students gain a solid foundation in scientific inquiry and experimentation.

2. Is it written from a Biblical worldview?

For Christian families, it’s important to choose a homeschool science curriculum that acknowledges God as the Creator. Secular textbooks often present facts without acknowledging the divine connection between creation and the Creator.

Apologia’s curriculum is unapologetically faith-based, encouraging students to explore the wonders of God’s design while gaining a deep understanding of scientific principles. Our materials invite students to reflect on the beauty and complexity of creation through thought-provoking “Think About This” sections.

3. Is the format flexible and a good fit for your family?

Every homeschool family has unique goals and schedules. A well-structured curriculum should be adaptable to your family’s needs while maintaining educational rigor.

Apologia’s suggested lesson plans are designed for flexibility, allowing you to adjust pacing as needed. Whether you’re teaching one student or multiple grade levels, our curriculum supports independent learning while encouraging family discussions and shared experiences.

4. Is the curriculum factually accurate and up-to-date?

Science is a fact-based study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. When choosing a curriculum, ensure the resources are authored and reviewed by credible experts.

Apologia’s homeschool science curriculum is developed by professionals with advanced degrees, including MDs, PhDs, and master’s degrees. Our team consists of doctors, nurses, engineers, professors, and researchers who bring real-world experience to the materials. Additionally, Apologia offers access to exclusive Book Extras, featuring regularly updated online resources that connect students with the latest scientific discoveries.

5. Is it recognized and trusted by homeschool families?

Awards and customer reviews are valuable indicators of a curriculum’s quality.

Apologia’s homeschool science curriculum has earned the trust of the homeschooling community, receiving numerous awards and maintaining a top spot for over 15 years. Parents consistently praise our materials for their academic excellence, biblical perspective, and engaging hands-on learning experiences.

Benefits of a Homeschool Science Curriculum That is Creation-Based

A child taught from a creation-based philosophy has a solid foundation and knows that no part of scientific study is done in isolation. Nothing is independent, but rather all things are interrelated in our universe. That includes atoms, bacteria, plants, animals, people, and galaxies that will take lifetimes to fully explore and understand scientifically.

Creation-based science in our homeschools gives our children a fuller awareness of themselves, their world, their universe, and ultimately a personal understanding of their unique existence in the universe. The handiwork of God, everything visible and invisible, next to us or in the farthest reaches of the universe, is connected throughout all of creation, throughout all of time.

Learning should never be associated with a series of isolated textbook facts. The end of a chapter in a homeschool science textbook is only the beginning. You don’t stop learning when you set the book down because life is a journey of exploration, interaction, discovery, and wonder.
