Homeschool science and math taught by people who love it.
Science Mom and Math Dad have built a science and math curriculum for homeschooling families, from grades 4 through 8.
- Self-paced courses,
- follow-along notes, and
- lessons designed to make your student curious
Science Courses
Whether you need one subject or a full multi-year plan, we have a course for it. Our science curriculum starts in 4th grade and runs through 8th, covering Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Geoscience, and Physics. Every course includes video lessons with Science Mom and Math Dad, follow-along notes, and built-in comprehension checks. One purchase covers your whole family, and lessons never expire.
Each science course is independent of the others, so there is no strict order. Below is the suggested sequence of courses.
Accelerated Middle School Math
Our math sequence takes students from Grade 6 through Algebra 1. The accelerated courses will get you through Algebra 1 during middle school, or give you a chance to catch up if you are behind.
Our math courses use the interactive Amplify-Desmos math curriculum. Complete the activities alongside video instruction from Math Dad. After each lesson, there are practice problems to complete.
Hi, We're Science Mom and Math Dad
Science Mom has an M.S. in Plant Science from Utah State University. Math Dad has a Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. We run the Science Mom YouTube channel where we create educational content for kids.
Science Mom and Math Dad teach self-paced courses using a secular curriculum. Each course uses an open-and-go design that requires minimal preparation and supervision. In our science courses, each lesson has follow-along notes, interactive comprehension questions, and quizzes. Students can participate in polls while watching the recorded lessons. There are science and art projects for deeper dives. Our math courses use the interactive Desmos curriculum. Each video lesson has an exploratory activity and practice material to complete after the lesson.
Self-Paced Courses
Complete these courses on your own schedule.
The suggested pace to complete each course in one semester is 3 days per week for the science courses and 4 days per week for the math courses.
