The scripted nature of the teaching portion is very helpful for parents who have never taught before or don’t feel comfortable teaching science. If you own a color printer or would like to print the curriculum through a printing company, you can purchase the PDFs at around half the price of the physical copies. It’s very high quality! Each physical copy also includes a PDF of the entire curriculum, so you are able to print off additional worksheets for multiple children. Everything is printed single sided on heavy duty, glossy paper. The cost is amazing! If you’re ordering a physical copy, most of the science units are in the $20-$30 range. There are also units specifically for health, safety and sex ed. We have enjoyed Marine Biology, Space, Botany and Meteorology, but there is everything from biology to chemistry to earth science. There are a wide range of topics to choose from. The curriculum truly is beautiful! In addition to the scripted part of the curriculum, there are gorgeous, full color photos, mini-books that you assemble and lots of other lovely goodies. Some lessons also include items to color or work on to include in a science binder your child creates. Each lesson includes scripted teaching points and many include mini-books (you put these together yourself), and an experiment. While the curriculum recommends that you complete 2 lessons a week, you can easily do less or more depending on your preference. As a parent, you can choose the scientific topics or you can allow your child to choose the things they are most interested in learning about.Įach unit has 10-20 lessons. It is unit study based, so you purchase several units for a year. The Good and the Beautiful are more well known for their math and language arts, but their science curriculum is the only portion we have used. She wanted this curriculum to be open and go, academically thorough and yet still visually appealing. Jenny desired to teach her children through quality literature that exemplified good character and focused on God. The Good and the Beautiful is a curriculum created by Jenny Phillips, a homeschool mom who couldn’t find a curriculum that fit the criteria she was looking for.
