Giveaway: $110 K-5 science package from Be Naturally Curious

October 12, 2015 //  by Jamie C. Martin

MWG molecule activity

This giveaway has now ended; thanks for your interest!

Welcome to this week’s giveaway–sponsored by Be Naturally Curious!

From Valerie at Be Naturally Curious:

“I am a mom to two energetic and inquisitive young girls and also happen to be a former college Biology professor.

One of my greatest passions in life is to help ALL kids experience the joy in learning science and exploring nature!

I believe this is best done by focusing on concepts and reinforcing learning with multiple, non-traditional teaching techniques, which is why I started Be Naturally Curious, creating science and nature mini-courses for kids grades K-5.

I love to share and discuss ideas about science and learning on our Facebook page —please come connect with us!

I’ve enlisted the help of several other scientists, many of whom are also moms, to make mini-courses on really important or really fascinating scientific concepts (these are the real thing—nothing watered down here!).

Current mini-courses include:

  • Take Off with Airplane Science
  • A Wide World of Vertebrates
  • A Butterfly’s Evening Adventure
  • Freddie and His Ocean Friends
  • Molecules are Everywhere
  • The Adventures of Carbon
  • Discovering DNA
  • Mighty Magnets
  • Life in the Desert
  • See with your Ears!
  • Our Neighbor, the Moon!

Giveaway SH2015 collage

They are designed to give parents the tools to teach higher-level scientific concepts to all styles of learners. Whether you have a kinesthetic learner or a visual one, your child can master everything from molecules and DNA to ecosystems and the carbon cycle.

As moms ourselves, we specifically designed the courses so they can be done easily at home or on a trip with minimal supplies—most materials can be cut directly from the course print out. We believe science can be done anywhere!

Each mini-course focuses on a different scientific concept, whether it be how airplanes fly or how dolphins echolocate.

Every mini-course is designed to appeal to all kinds of learners and a wide range of ages (grades K-5), and includes a beautifully illustrated story, a board or card game, a movement-based activity, a craft or modeling activity, and an experiment or outdoor exploration activity.

Try them with all the kids in your family—each person has his or her own best way to learn!

Each mini-course also includes additional resources to allow kids to follow their curiosity (the most important thing we can develop!) and concept badges kids can add to their Science Tool Kits (print out included in each mini-course.)

The prize

One Simple Homeschool reader will win a complete set of Be Naturally Curious mini-courses (worth $110), in PDF format!

PDFs can be printed in their entirety or in part for the activity materials.

    My two older kids are 5yrs and 7yrs old and my two youngest are 2yrs and 11 months old. Our current obsession is learning about different trees particularly the baobab tree which grows in hot areas. Am still looking for a baobab pulp to show them but they are hard to find in South Africa were we live, as they mostly grow in central Africa like Zambia and Mozambique.

    My 2 year old likes to watch bugs whenever we see them in the yard, and he loves robots. My 11 year old asks about random stuff like breathing in space, heat transfer in cooking food, animals, architecture, and how batteries work. My 3 month old just likes to eat and sleep and figure out how to get his hand in his mouth. 🙂

    My girls are 6&8. Their questions recently are about what things go back into the earth and what doesn’t (decomposing). Why do we have worms and if they breathe w their skin how do they not suffocate under ground digging tunnels. Ants how do they know where they are going. What is a shooting star. These are this weeks science questions.
