Hands-on Christian Homeschool Curriculum for Grades K-4
Short lessons, interactive activities, and engaging characters make science the subject kids ask to do first and keep asking for year after year. The projects are simple and use everyday household materials, but don't let that fool you: the learning sticks — and so does the Christian faith-building.
Kids Love It — This series makes science their favorite subject of the homeschool day.
Hands-on Activities & Experiments — Accessible to kids so they feel successful as real scientists.
Feels Like Storytime — Kids get attached to the characters and get pulled into the storylines.
Seamless — Everything in a single volume. Low-prep activities. Even non-sciency parents can just grab and go.
Faith-Building — Full Bible integration and a Creationist perspective build Christian faith.
We've been using Let's Talk Science for 4 years and we love it! Open and go, simple at-home experiments with easy-to-find materials, and explains concepts and topics in a fun way using characters and a storyline. My daughter also loves the weekly science notebook drawings she gets to do! It's just that fantastic!"
