Children are naturally curious about the world around them. They want to understand why things are the way they are and how things work. However, science can be a challenging subject to teach your child due to its scope and complexity. Drawing from our experiences and research, we have designed a curriculum that gives your child a foundation in science and its many disciplines. There is no prep work for you as the parent and no grading. Simply enjoy the videos with your child and help your child complete the simple activities that use materials you already have around the house. Each course includes 180 video lessons, as well as printable activities and other supplementary materials.
These courses are part of The Ron Paul Curriculum’s complete 1st-12th grade curriculum. All you pay is $250 for your family membership and $50 for any course in any grade. Custom build the perfect homeschool to fit your family’s needs today!
