Science and Nature Education Website

Are you a science educator or homeschooling parent? If so, you know how hard it can be to find quality materials to kick start or supplement your science lessons.

Today we are featuring a resource you might find helpful. The Exploring Nature Educational Resource website has over 5,000 pages of top-notch illustrated science materials for use online, to download and print, or to display on a Smartboard. Subscriptions are $25/year (at the time this was posted) for individuals or families, and school rates are also available.

Illustrated science lessons are so important for young visual learners and can help any style of learner grasp concepts more quickly. Author and illustrator Sheri Amsel created the materials specifically for the site, which means they are consistent in style and format. They are not recycled from other sites on the internet.

Think of the website as a series of online textbooks on different science topics that go with you wherever you need them. They aren’t just science lessons, either. There is a test bank to use and information about Next Generation science standards to help with your own curriculum planning. The how-to-draw instructions and coloring pages would be useful for art lessons and projects, as well.
