Sonlight is a Christ-centered curricula that constantly reaches the tops of charts for being well-organized, easy to teach, trustworthy with its information, and affordable. It is also considered a fun curriculum thanks to the easy to follow teacher’s guide and its no prep or planning on the parents part.

Your children will learn these subjects in greater depth as they circle back through each topic over the years. Sonlight students interact with more scientific subjects and more material – more often – before middle school than many students cover once before high school.
Berean Builders Science Curriculum
Written by Dr. Jay Wile, the Berean Builders homeschool science curriculum includes the high school “Discovering Design with Chemistry” curriculum as well as the multi-level elementary “Science in the…” series, which introduces science in a historical context. Many parents use this curriculum for their elementary aged children because of the way concepts are taught. They are easy to understand and grasp by children and help build foundational understanding to science from a biblical perspective.
Apologia
Apologia is a Christ-centered, award-winning homeschool curriculum provider with the mission of helping homeschooling students and families learn, live, and defend the Christian faith through print and digital curriculum and online classes. This creation based science curriculum is written in a conversational tone which will help your children learn to speak comfortably about a topic. This is important when it comes to gaining the ability to explain scientific concepts in their own words.
What sets this curriculum apart is it doesn’t teach isolated facts to be memorized for exams; instead, they put facts into a larger contextual perspective so that children can see the purpose of learning those facts. It’s also reasonably priced!
Elemental Science Homeschool Curriculum
The Elemental Science homeschool science curriculum features the Classic Series (based on a classical science education methodology for middle school) and the Living Books/ Sassafras Living-Books Series (for Grades K-5_. This series will inspire your kids to love science. Adventure-style stories integrate facts related to a major science topic into story-lines. Each book can be read on its own (as a read-aloud or independently by students in 4th grade & up) or can be used alongside the activity book and logbook (each sold-separately) to create a full curriculum for homeschoolers. Each book is designed to take one semester/ half a year.
The Classic Series is split into two options: the Grammar Stage (for grades 1-4) and the Logic Stage (for grades 5-8). Both series include a full year (36 weeks) of lesson plans. Based on a classical science education methodology, the teacher’s manual and student workbook work together with subject-specific “spine” references (must purchase separately) to create a curriculum that explores science through hands-on inquiry, information, writing, and a science project.
Noeo Science Curriculum
Offering physics, chemistry, and biology, Logos Press (founders of the Noeo science curriculum) creates and provides products that sketch a vision of a whole life and a whole culture.
