Learners are encouraged to complete their science journal pages and submit photos for teacher feedback and personalized encouragement, helping them grow as confident young scientists.
Experiments Included
Ice Cream in a Bag (states of matter, phase changes, scientific method)
Lemon Volcano (acid-base reactions, chemical reactions, foaming science)
Oreo Moon Phases (astronomy, lunar phases, modeling science concepts)
Edible Bubbles (surface tension, gas, and fun food science exploration)
Learners will follow along with engaging video lessons while completing their printable science journals and submitting their work as assignments. This course includes 4 hands-on experiments, 4 printable science journal activities, and 4 corresponding assignments to reinforce learning.
Flexible Schedule Course This is a self-paced science course with no live video meetings, making it ideal for homeschool families and independent learners. Students can learn on their own schedule and communicate with the teacher through classroom posts and private messages.
Important Safety Note Some experiments use food-based materials for science exploration. Learners should use caution and avoid consuming any materials that have been mixed with non-food substances or are otherwise unsafe to eat. Adult supervision is recommended when needed.
Course Curriculum
Elizabeth McMann
As a homeschooling mother of five, and teacher since 2017, I felt led by the Lord to create an online educational platform. My style of learning didn't fit into the mold of what was out there. Not to mention, the rising prices of other educational platforms limited what classes my children could enjoy. Sifting through online classes and full curriculum that aligns with Christian values is tricky. Today, it seems most Christian curriculum is boring bookwork and/or very costly. I sought to combine everything that I value in education. Teach Me Truth provides entertaining video lessons, live online classes, online games, quizzes, worksheets, and community - all designed by independent teachers within our nonprofit platform.
