Home School Science Lessons

Homeschool students need to learn science!
Would a hands-on, more visual, approach be helpful?
How about a teaching aid that is
      A snap to assemble,
      A breeze to clean,
      And fun to use
?

Would it help to have 150 science lessons, each with
      Clearly defined objectives,
      A materials list,
      Real world applications,
      A reference diagram,
      Detailed procedures,
      Thinking questions for the students,
      And teaching notes for clarification
?

The Teaching Tank® and The Teaching Tank Discovery Books© provide teachers, parents and students the ability to easily understand, perform and observe science experiments in a visually exciting way using readily available materials.

The 150 lessons include activities in Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics that can be used throughout the year and adapted to any grade level. Many lessons also help develop math skills. See the Curriculum Guide Access Page to view the complete list of lessons appropriate to each discipline and for some helpful hints on developing a science curriculum.

Check out the Frequently Asked Questions page for answers to some of the common questions that homeschoolers have asked. Also read the Personal Letter to Homeschoolers for some specific suggestions that may be helpful in developing your science strategy in the Home School environment.

The science teaching and learning aid that everyone is talking about!

 

One purchase and you have lessons in Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics, and more. Plus it can be used from year to year for different grade levels. You could spend money to buy other products that do only one of the things that the Teaching Tank does, but you will end up spending many times over the cost of this one product and you will not be able to do the activities as well. This teaching aid has the best viewing area and is the most versatile of any product on the market.

"I have been home schooling my son for four years and science was not the easiest subject to teach. The Teaching Tank and book have been a tremendous help. The lessons are concise and easy to follow. Its list of supplies needed for each experiment, simple to follow steps, and expected results have allowed us to get excited about science.

Other programs we have tried left me racing around trying to assemble items needed but, with the complete list of supplies in the back of the book I was able to plan ahead and have everything on hand that was necessary before we started.

The lessons are designed to keep the child's / student's interest and also opened ended to keep them thinking. We have had such fun and can't wait for Book II.

Thank you so much." - Charissa Hammond, Oakdale, Connecticut



"I had the opportunity to meet many of you homeschloolers at the Boxborough conference in Boxborough, Massachussetts. I had a most enjoyable time presenting workshops and working at my booth. After having done many workshops throughout the northeast region for classroom teachers I was pleased to show the many parents at the conference how to make science come alive with little or no money. In fact one of my teacher workshops is called 'Teaching Science With Junk' and it has been very popular.

Therefore, I was very excited when I discovered The Teaching Tank this past August while working on a science project in New Hampshire. This was not junk and I knew that I had to have one. I have been using it now for several months in my visits to schools, teacher workshops and with my Royal Academy homeschool children. It is an outstanding invention and one that can be used over and over again to teach many lessons that touch upon all areas of the science curriculum. The Teaching Tank reaches across all grade levels. Parents would find it both a valuable and fun teaching tool." - Gordon Corbett, Educational Consultant.



"I used The Teaching Tank for my seventh grade Science Fair Project. The Tank allowed first hand observation of my experiment with plant root growth. It made the project fun and exciting and a real learning expereince for me and other students in the school." - Hilary Jordan, Woodbury School



"As the Science Curriculum Facilitator in our school, I have ordered the Teaching Tank for use in grades Readiness through 5. It is rewarding to watch students of all ages and abilities become mesmerized as they observe science up close through the transparent tanks." - Marie Ross, Gr 5 Teacher, 1995 NH Elementary Science Teacher of the Year.



"The Teaching Tank has allowed me to integrate various science concepts into my thematic units, as well as extend activities from existing curriculums. If you are looking for an easy way to spark interest, create dialogue, and enrich comprehension, the Teaching Tank is for you!" - Maria G. Clark, First Grade Teacher, Londonderry, NH.
