There is no fixed structure to how you should teach your homeschool students as long as you get them the information that they need to learn. Because of this, you have great creative freedom when it comes to combining subjects in your homeschool lesson plans. Here are some unusual combinations that can make perfect sense when you think about it.
History, Geography, Physics
Find that combination absurd? Well think about Albert Einstein: if you were to begin with the famous man’s life story, the homeschool students would be learning about history. Then as the story proceeded you would be able to fill in geographical locations where he lived and worked across many countries. That covers geography. You could finish by doing a couple of science experiments based on the physics principles that he used. So in one lesson plan you can cover all three subjects.
ICT, History, Literature
ICT or Information and Communication Technology refers to any multimedia communication on radio, television or the internet. Combine this with historical lessons based on famous writers from the years gone by and add the literature that they produced to create a lesson plan combining these three subjects. You could describe Victorian England as part of history, then read poems from famous poets of the time, and also record videos of the recitations.
Geography, Biology, History
Sit in the comfort of your homeschool classroom and explore the North Pole. Figure out the kind of conditions you would face if you were to travel there as part of geography: the terrain, the weather, the clothes that you will need to survive. Speak of the kinds of life that can thrive in such locations as part of biology. Talk about the polar bears, the plant life, the fish in the sea and whatever else can be found around the polar region. As part of history you can teach about the first expedition that successfully made it to the North Pole, and discuss all the difficulties that they faced.
As you can see it is easy to combine different subjects in a single lesson plan that you intend to use in your homeschool classroom. It just needs some imagination and creative maneuvering.
