Is science the one subject you’re leaving out? Science is one of those subjects that the more you know, the more you need to know. There is no stopping point with science – your learning just keeps growing as you press on. The wonderful part about the infinite subject is the opportunity to learn various topics of science, like astronomy or biology.
In Journey Homeschool Academy, they make it easy for homeschool parents to stop leaving out science class from your day. They offer both Astronomy and Biology courses for elementary as well as upper-level students. Our family received Experience Biology: Elementary and we adored this online science course.

About Experience Biology: Elementary
We were pretty excited to receive our membership information for Experience Biology: Elementary class. I’ve been meaning to add biology to our homeschool plans, but for some reason, I kept leaving out science class. Guilty. Either I thought I didn’t have enough time to cover it or that the kids were learning enough science right now catching frogs and discussing different aspects of the frogs with me!
Even though I don’t have a natural affinity for certain science classes (for instance, when I was in school I struggled big time in Chemistry but excelled in Environmental Science), I know science is an important subject to include in my children’s education. Science is such an intriguing subject that offers so many interesting facts about every single thing in this world.
My children have a natural curiosity about the world around them. I may not be equipped knowledge-wise about science facts, but I love learning about *all the things* right along beside them. Which is where Journey Homeschool Academy comes in the picture.
And why were so delighted to receive lifetime access to their online elementary biology course! Everyone who signs up with them also received lifetime access – not 1 year, not 2 years, not 6 months, but you have the course for life. Now that I can get on board with (especially with my track record of leaving it out of our homeschool schedule sometimes/some weeks).

If Science Is The One Subject You’re Leaving Out, This Homeschool Science Curriculum Will Make You Love Science Class
We usually plan to have science class at least once, hopefully twice, a week. With this course, though, we used it three times a week to get a good feel of it.
The videos captured the kids attention and they really enjoyed what they were learning.
The only way for them to remember the details of what they learned, however, is by practicing with the memory cards provided and watching the Memory Video on Day 2.
Day 1: Watch video and do copy work and memory cards
Day 2: Watch short memory video, do memory cards, and activity
Day 3: Memory cards and Lesson Quiz
