Review: Thorough Early Elementary Science Education for Homeschoolers - I have been using this Science curriculum for my two early elementary students in our homeschool for 1 and a half years. I supplement it with Early Elementary Science Education by Shannon Jordan and resources from the BFSU Facebook group. The authors of both books are active in the group and other users share ideas generously. My students love this curriculum and the topics we discuss grow naturally into deeper conversations and applications outside of lesson time. At the beginning of our first year I had to immerse myself in the available resources to develop a lesson planning process but after a few weeks it became smooth and adaptable. I schedule two lessons a week for my 3rd/4th graders and we will complete this book in two school years without feeling rushed. I have learned so much along with my students and have every intention of continuing with this author's second book.
Review: Incredibly thorough - We are almost done with this book and it's insane how much I've learned along with my children. I absolutely love that the lessons continue to refer to previous lessons, so it won't be (another) case of having a great, intriguing lesson, and then your kid recalls nothing a year later. It's not necessarily open and go, but once you get the hang of it, you can plan out your next lesson in a few minutes. Unfortunately, the books that are listed for added reading are quite hard to find now. Instead, I've picked up any Let's Read and Find Out science books as I've come across them as we use those to build on the ideas presented in the book. There are some topics that stretched me in my own science knowledge and being able to explain them, so these additional books are invaluable. We've also built up a small collection of Usborne science books to reference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best science education for elementary kids
*by E***H on September 5, 2020*

We are using BFSU for first and second grade science. My son is very science-minded and I wanted something to expand his knowledge, while being fun and exciting. Most secular science books for this age focus on one area (earth science, physical science, space science, etc) but BFSU weaves them all together so children have a understanding that all science is interconnected. Most science books for this age/grade tend to go over a broad view of many topics with little depth. Dr. Nebel realizes that little minds are capable (and craving) of a deeper understanding, and is able to present more advanced concepts in such a way that children not only learn, but truly understand. We absolutely adore this program and use it along with Generation Genius, Science in a Nutshell kits, and interactive Notebooking pages and I know my son is receiving a top knot science education and a firm foundation that will help him though all his future science education.
