How kindergarten science works

Every lesson has an on-page lab or model, diagrams, and a quiz. Grades 6–8 add a full lab notebook: hypothesis, variables, three trials, averages, a chart, and a claim-evidence-reasoning write-up.

Time: about 15–25 minutes a day
Scores go straight to the gradebook and report card
Print any lesson as a worksheet with an answer key
Parent tools: hours log, weekly report, portfolio
Family plan: up to 4 students, each with their own records
