Elementary Chemistry & Physics Homeschool Curriculum

July 31, 2015 By: amyswandering4 Comments

I was sponsored by Masterbooks to review their Elementary Chemistry & Physics homeschool curriculum and am excited to share my experience as well as an awesome giveaway!  All opinions are mine alone.  For more information please read my full disclosure.

Master Books Review -  Science Starters: Elementary Chemistry & Physics  -  affordable, easy to use, and adaptable to multiple ages

Science is one of those subjects that we like to learn all together, so a homeschool science curriculum for my younger kiddos has to fit a certain criteria. It has to be affordable, it has to be easy to use, and it has to be adaptable to multiple ages.

Master Books hit it out of the ballpark with their Science Starters: Elementary Chemistry & Physics Curriculum.

Affordable Homeschool Curriculum

The Elementary Chemistry & Physics Pack is under $55 for a full year of lessons, experiments, quizzes, and tests.

The set includes:

  • Matter – Student
  • Matter – Student Journal
  • Matter – Teacher Guide
  • Energy – Student
  • Energy – Teacher Guide
  • Energy – Student Journal
  • Parent Lesson Planner
