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 and 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!
- Amazing Animal Migrations
-
Plate Tectonics: The Changing Continents (NEW!)
-
The Scoop on Sharks (NEW!)
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 $140), in PDF format!
PDFs can be printed in their entirety or in part for the activity materials.

A homeschool day in the life!
My daughter is 5 years old and would love Freddie and his ocean friends!! A girl after my own heart! She loves anything animals!!
My kids are 7 and 9 and they would LOVE the discovering dna! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Hi.
7 years old and would best like ‘my neighbour the moon’, I think
My kids are 13, 11, 7 and 4 and I think they would love the moon study since they’re currently fascinated with astronomy.
I shared on Facebook
My children are 2, 5, 9, & 12. I think my youngest would like the moon as she loves looking for it each night. My 5 yr old son would probably like any of the animal ones as he LOVES animals. My 9 yr old would definitely be into the airplane science. My 12 year old would probably find Discovering DNA to be fascinating.
My little scholars are 3, 5 and 8 years old. While I’m sure they would be tickled with any of them, I think they would really enjoy “See With Your Ears”. Thank you for offering this giveaway! ????❤️
Mine are 5, 2, and 9 months. I think the Take Off with Airplane Science would be a hit around our home! Thanks for your offer!
My son is 6, soon 7 and I think Plate Tectonics would be a great addition since we’ve never learned about it before. Thank you1
My girls are 3 and 7 and they would enjoy Amazing Migration, Our Neighbor the Moon, and See with your Ears.
Kids are 4 and 6, and would love the Vertebrates, Moon or Sharks mini courses.
Probably magnets or sharks!!! They all sound so good!
My kids are 6, 5, 3, and due next week!;)

My kids are 7, 4, and 7 months. The two older would love Take Off with Airplane Science, A Butterfly’s Evening Adventure, and Mighty Magnets. The 7 month old will love watching her older sibs smile & laugh & play as they learn! 😉
My kids are 8, 7 and 4. I think they would love Amazing Animal Migrations.
My girls are 8 & 10 and I think they’d love Amazing Animal Migrations, though I’d let them choose if we won.
