🧪 Our Middle School Science Vault: Secular Curriculum Faves with High School Readiness in Mind

🧪 Middle School Science, unlocked…

Step inside our vault of favorite secular science curricula, fully explored across our homeschool middle school years with two teens (one now a sophomore, the youngest in 8th grade).

I’m sharing what worked best for each season, how each curriculum approaches learning, and my take on how it bridges the gap to high school science. Notes, reviews, and thoughts on ease of use for homeschoolers—so you can see which tools might fit your goals, learning style, and rhythm.

🐦‍⬛ For more reflections on homeschool life, resources, and creative learning ideas, subscribe to my channel.

💌 If you find this video helpful, share it with someone navigating the transitional years 💕

If you catch me near the sand, there’s probably a book in hand or an audiobook buzzing like a mixtape in my ears. I’m 𝓐𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞… 𝓡𝓝 on pause, graphic designer, and lifelong mood reader who somehow turned creative chaos into a lifestyle. Books, projects, and stories all seem to find their way here. In my mix, homeschooling teens is just another track on the playlist, filled with story-rich DIY lessons and a coastal heart. 🌊
