HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM REVIEW | SCIENCE UNIT STUDY

I think this Butterflies and Caterpillars unit was one of our favorite units this year. Well, at least I know it was mine. For my children, because there was little writing and a lot of hands-on activities, I think I can safely say they liked it too. We used a number of resources for this unit, though most of them were reference materials that we referred to rather than reading from cover to cover. There are some favorite and not-so-favorite resources, and I hope to give you a fair review of the materials we used so you can best chose the supplies you need for your units.

What I forgot to show was our lesson plan I created at the beginning of this unit which I showed in the video sharing our plans and resources for this unit. For pictures of the lesson plan, and what we accomplished, you can head to my website to the blog post that accompanies this video:

These are some great resources! We have nature anatomy and adore it

I came up with a plan for "animalium" so that we actually USE it. I thought you might be interested. So, since i kind of hate nature study in its traditional form, I decided to have us do "nature study" where we started at the beginning of the book and read the info on one spread, and everyone chooses one species to draw. its great because its hands on, and artistic, and they absorb the info really well :) we do one spread a week.

Beautiful project! Frame it in a shadow box

I've heard good things about the Curious parts of Nature and nature Anatomy, I don't see why I need both could you recommend one over the other

Do both of your youngest students take part in each of your units?

[thetherapymama]

What do you mean you don't go fill the woodbox oven every morning? Hahaha...I can't believe you are talented enough to change the words in the book. I'm doing good to just read them correctly. :-) Great unit!

My two don't want to do the studies together.😕
