You chose to give your kids something special. Let us handle science.
Teaching several subjects to several ages is a lot to carry. Jr. Marine Biologist is the science block that plans itself: every kit holds the lesson, the vocabulary, five hands-on activities and the supplies to run them. It drops straight into your week with nothing to prep, print or shop for.
Three levels, one expedition
Siblings side by side, each at their own pace
Ages 4–6
Read-aloud lessons, sensory experiments and simple science. Built for little hands and short attention spans.
Ages 7–9
Independent reading, real vocabulary, and experiments they set up and run themselves.
Ages 10+
Research projects, ecosystems, conservation and the science behind it. Middle-school depth without a textbook.
Order the same topic at two or three levels and your whole crew studies sharks the same month — then compares notes at dinner.
How a kit fits your week
Four weeks, one box, zero planning
Week 1 – Read & discover
The illustrated lesson and flash cards introduce the topic. Fifteen minutes a day is plenty.
Weeks 2–3 – Experiment & build
Two or three activities a week: build the model, run the test, record results in the field notebook prompts.
Week 4 – Present & celebrate
The final project, the vocabulary review, and a Certificate of Completion with their name on it.
