My children are sad to be done with your Introductory Science course. So am I! It made science so easy this year!
Mrs. L.
It is absolutely no wonder to me that you received this award. I have found your high school biology amazing.
Sami W. and Children
Just wanted to drop a quick note and say how much we are enjoying the Life Science curriculum. Hands down, it is the best program out there.

Science Shepherd's Introductory Science is an engaging and comprehensive video-based homeschool elementary science curriculum recommended for grades 1-5 or ages 6-11. Written by physician and homeschool dad Scott Hardin, MD, Introductory Science covers a wide range of topics - creation, geology, biology, astronomy, oceanography, meteorology and more - which will serve as the foundation for a student's scientific studies.
The Introductory Science Video Course is available via lifetime online streaming access to daily 2-5 minute video lessons (including activities), which can be viewed at any time, or a DVD set (yours to keep). Each lesson is designed to be easily accessible for young learners, with clear explanations and engaging visuals. The course is divided into 35 weeks, but can be easily adjusted to fit your school year.
In addition to the Introductory Science Video Course, students complete workbook assignments to reinforce key concepts taught in each video lesson. Choose between the Introductory Science Workbook Level A or Level B to tailor the course to your student(s). The Level B Workbook contains all of the same material as Level A, plus additional content for older students. Because all of the video lessons are the same for each workbook level, students in both levels can watch each lesson together.
These grade/age recommendations are flexible and meant only as guidelines. Please choose the level you feel is best for your individual student, considering his or her reading level and critical thinking. The free course preview and Workbook samples can also help you choose the appropriate Level (see below).
Multiple students? If you need Level A and Level B material simply purchase an Introductory Science Bundle and add additional Workbooks and an Answer Key as needed.
Science Shepherd was awarded the 2023 Practical Homeschooling Elementary Science Reader Award, is a Homeschool.com 2023 Educational Website Awards Winner, and receives rave reviews from homeschool families. You can be confident that our elementary science curriculum will provide an excellent educational experience to your student.
