Nancy Larson Science

The Nancy Larson Science for Homeschool offers a complete, structured elementary science curriculum covering Kindergarten through Grade 5. Designed as "Serious Science," the program uses explicit instruction to build a deep, sequential foundation of knowledge rather than relying solely on literature. It is ideal for parents who want a focused science path that ensures their child develops the strong conceptual and vocabulary framework necessary for success in upper grades. The program's methodology features lessons in a logical sequence, using continuous questioning and review to anchor learning and build systematically upon prior knowledge. A critical focus is the development of essential scientific vocabulary. To support diverse learners, the program uses a multi-sensory approach and includes a Language Arts Connection, where students practice reading and writing skills using the provided scientific nonfiction text and study materials. Nancy Larson Science is known for being exceptionally easy to teach, minimizing preparation time for the homeschooling parent. The curriculum is delivered as a complete "Student Opening Nancy Larson Science Kit," essentially an "Open the box and go" system. It provides a fully scripted Teacher's Manual alongside all necessary science tools, student materials, and hands-on activities that are fully integrated into the lessons, allowing parents to focus entirely on effective direct instruction.
