Homeschool Secular Science Curriculum

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

Secular science curriculum is not easy to find. It goes back to the fact that the majority of homeschoolers are homeschooling from a religious point of view. It is changing and with that change come more secular options for us.

Choosing a Secular Science Curriculum

This is one subject that I will not, I will not, settle on. There are a lot curriculum out there that I like and have just skipped over the religious aspects, but science isn’t one of them. We are learning about evolution and science not creation.

Secular curriculum only discusses religious beliefs from an anthropological perspective. It is not faith-neutral (this becomes important especially when discussing science and history curricula). It does not posit biblical/religious beliefs as historical fact.

How to Choose A Curriculum

  • secular / religious view
  • digital or print
  • independent learning or guided learning
  • common core or non-common core
  • availability – these are available in Canada
  • is hands on learning included?

You also need to decide what you want taught in your homeschool. I teach my kids about evolution, and scientific thinking.

Hands on Science Experiments

There is also the option of adding in great, hands on learning science experiments. These area favorite in our homeschool. I will turn my kitchen upside down doing a science experiment with my kids. I have been doing them with my kids long before we homeschooled, long ago, like even when they were 1 or 2 years old.

Science experiments are a great way to get all your kids involved in the learning, and to teach multiple ages at once.
