General Science Curriculum 3rd-6th Book Bundle

Not a sciency person? You’re still the right person to teach this.

This General Science curriculum book bundle gives homeschool families, co-ops, and hybrid teachers everything they need for 3rd–6th grade science—without decoding a dense textbook or building a scope-and-sequence from scratch. It’s science done easy: warm, hands-on, and ready to teach.

One bundle. Everything in one place. Open the spiral-bound Teacher Manual, grab the matching Student Notebook, and teach with confidence—even if science was never “your subject.”

What’s included

• General Science Teacher Manual (3rd–6th) — spiral-bound, non-consumable teaching guide
• General Science Student Notebook (3rd–4th) — spiral-bound, write-in, consumable
• General Science Student Notebook (5th–6th) — spiral-bound, write-in, consumable

That’s the full upper-elementary set: one shared lesson path, with notebook work leveled for younger and older students in the same room or the same home.

Bundle price: $85 (the three books are $90 if purchased separately).

Who it’s for

• Homeschool parents who want clear, doable science without a science degree
• Co-op & hybrid teachers (including volunteer parents) who need multi-age, 1–2 day schedules
• Multi-age homes teaching 3rd–6th together—same lessons, different notebook depth
• A strong 2nd grader or light 7th grader can join when that’s the right fit for your student

How a lesson works

Each lesson is built for real life—not a five-day textbook grind:

1. Lesson — plain-language teaching you can follow
2. Activity — hands-on learning kids remember
3. Review — lock in the big ideas
4. Optional extension activities — experiments, projects, and art when you want to go deeper or stretch the week

Designed for about 1–2 days a week, roughly 1.5 hours per teaching day, across 24–26 weeks—with flexibility to slow down, speed up, use it as a unit study, or even summer science. Extension activities help you stretch lessons your kids love.

Why parents and co-op teachers choose the bundle

• Zero-prep science curriculum feel: materials lists and teaching helps live in the Teacher Manual—you’re not inventing the plan
• Ready to teach science out of the box (print books ship ready; no PDF kit to assemble)
• Homeschool science made easy and co-op ready science in the same pathway
• Hands-on science for kids—activity-forward, not worksheet-only
• Same lesson, two notebook levels so mixed ages learn together
• Supplies are not included in the box, but the Teacher Manual spells out materials in detail so you’re not guessing what to buy (common household / easy-to-find items)
• Built-in supports from the manual/notebook system: review weeks, optional quizzes per unit, semester exams, optional homework pages, optional science project guidance, and extension ideas

Print format

All three books are print-only, spiral-bound, and shipped to you. The Teacher Manual is kept and reused; Student Notebooks are consumable write-in books (ideal for one student each—add notebooks for siblings or co-op students as needed).
