Imagine your child happily begging to start their math and science lessons.

It's easier than you think. And you don't even have to know much about math or science to really make a lasting impact on your child's education.

Where do I start?

Homeschooling gives you the freedom to create a learning adventure that fits your child, but can quickly feel overwhelming if you're not clear on what you want, or where you're headed.

With Supercharged Science & Math, you can tailor math and science lessons to their unique interests and learning styles, turning both math and science into an exciting journey of discovery. 

Even if you don't know a thing about science or math, or even you don't have time to teach science, your child can still get an outstanding education because we take care of everything, one step at a time.

1. Pick a topic that really sparks an interest

For example, if your child is crazy about airplanes, don’t just toss paper airplanes around the room – get them inside a real airplane with their first flying lesson so they can really get a taste of what their future can be like if they keep studying math and science.

If your child loves astronomy, instead of buying a telescope (they won't know where to point it or how to use it), visit a star-gazing event hosted by a local astronomy club or science museum, or find an interview with an astronaut they can watch online. 

The key is that you need to hook them and show them what’s possible.

Most curriculum and teachers do this backwards!  Instead, they will cram the academics at the student, forcing them to learn things that the child either has no real interest in or does not understand how it's useful in the real world. We want students to be so excited about learning, so on fire with what they're curious about, that they simply can't wait to ask their questions and learn as much as they can.

That's the secret to learning that lasts a lifetime - you have to answer two questions before you start in with the academics: 
"What is this useful for?" and "Why should I care?"

2. Provide opportunities to experiment with the concepts (and make mistakes)

Quick question: Do you learn more when you make mistakes or get it right? 

Most people agree that they learn more when they make mistakes.

The problem is, parents often swoop in to rescue their child, because they don’t want them to make the same (often painful) mistakes we did.

Here’s the trouble with this: the message we give is that our child isn't capable of learning from their mistakes, and instead need us solve their problems for them. (Yikes!)

So take a breath and consider what the true cost is in that moment. Is it more important for them to ‘get it right’ or learn how to learn from mistakes? 

Allow your child the freedom to play with the concepts and learn from their mistakes.

Most curriculum are jam-packed with facts to memorize or endless rounds of drill worksheets. Science isn't about what you know, it's about how you handle the things you don't know.  It's how you ask questions, how you think about what you're observing in the real world. Math is how we model what we observe in the world to create things, plan out ideas, and solve problems for people.

3. Now we teach the academics

This is the step most people jump straight to, so if you have a child who's struggled with a textbook, a teacher, or a curriculum, this is probably what went wrong.

First, you must get your student hungry for what you want them to know. You have to spark their interest and make the concepts relevant to what they already know and understand.

Next, we have to allow students time and space to play with these concepts, without rushing through it or feeling left behind and discouraged.

Once you have these two things handled, their inner drive will make learning the academics a breeze. They already want to know the concepts, so all you have to help guide them as they take charge of their own learning!

What if I don't know how to do that?

Can you relate to any of these?

Who is most likely to succeed using our approach?

The people we help typically share many of these following traits and characteristics. If these fit you as well, you are probably someone I can help with math and science..

If any of these resonate with you, you are someone I may be able to help. The first place to start is with the right information. That’s why I’ve put together my online learning programs.

No matter what type of science experience you have, it is possible to:

Together, we will focus on the areas that are often most neglected in homeschool (usually science), and help to make learning a lot less scary and intimidating!

Do you know your child's unique learning style?

There are four different learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic. While we all have access to all four, people generally have one they prefer to use most of the time to both take in and communicate information.

Knowing your child's dominant learning style makes you a better teacher because it allows you to adapt your teaching methods to meet their unique needs. 

This is why some kids feel "easier" to teach than others, because your method of communicating is a match with their preferred method of learning. 

6 Things to Consider when Choosing a Homeschool Curriculum

Choosing the right homeschool curriculum can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry—we're here to help! Finding the right fit for your child can be exciting and empowering when you know what to look for. Here are six key things to keep in mind as you plan your homeschooling journey:

Every child learns in their own unique way. Whether your child loves diagrams and visuals, thrives on hands-on activities, enjoys listening to stories, or prefers reading and writing, understanding their learning style will make a world of difference. Tailoring your homeschool curriculum to match their strengths helps them stay engaged and excited about learning!

By taking the time to observe your child’s learning habits and adapting your teaching methods, you’re setting the stage for a homeschool experience that’s not only productive but also joyful and inspiring. A customized approach helps your child connect with the material, retain information better, and develop a lifelong love for learning!

What do you want your child to learn this year? Whether it’s mastering multiplication, diving into earth science, or developing critical thinking skills, setting clear goals helps you choose a curriculum that supports your vision. Remember, homeschooling is about focusing on what matters most to your family’s educational journey.

3. Balance Structure with Flexibility

Some kids thrive on structure, while others need the freedom to explore at their own pace. Choose a curriculum that offers a balance—enough guidance to keep you on track, but flexibility to adapt to your child’s interests and needs. It’s all about creating a rhythm that works for your family!

You’re the heart of your homeschool, and your energy, enthusiasm, and comfort with the material set the tone for your children’s learning experience. That’s why it’s so important to pick a curriculum that feels like a natural fit for you, as well as for your kids. After all, when you feel confident and excited about teaching, that energy will carry over into your homeschool and make the lessons more enjoyable for everyone.

Think about your teaching style and what brings you joy in your day-to-day homeschool routine. Do you thrive on creative, hands-on projects? Look for curricula that include plenty of experiments, crafts, and activities that allow you and your kids to learn through doing. These programs can make your homeschool days more dynamic and help your children stay engaged.

If you prefer structure and clarity, choose a curriculum with detailed guides, scripted lessons, and step-by-step instructions. Having clear goals and a solid plan can give you peace of mind and make your homeschool run smoothly. Many programs are designed with busy parents in mind, offering everything from pre-made schedules to teacher’s guides that walk you through each lesson with ease.

What do you want your child to learn this year? Whether it’s mastering multiplication, diving into earth science, or developing critical thinking skills, setting clear goals helps you choose a curriculum that supports your vision. 

Homeschooling is about focusing on what matters most to your family’s educational journey. You get to decide what's best for your family.

6. Consider the Preparation Time 

Consider how much preparation time you’re comfortable with. Some curricula are open-and-go, requiring little to no prep, while others may involve gathering materials or creating lesson plans ahead of time. 

Be honest with yourself about what works for your schedule and energy levels. Just because you're short on time now doesn't mean it's going to always be that way... plan ahead for the daily life you want to enjoy.

Remember, your confidence as a teacher plays a huge role in your homeschool’s success. When you feel equipped and at ease with the curriculum, your kids will sense that, and they’ll approach learning with the same positive attitude. On the other hand, if a program feels overwhelming or doesn’t align with your strengths, it might create unnecessary stress for both you and your kids.

Ultimately, your homeschool should reflect who you are and what you value. By choosing a curriculum that fits your teaching style and makes you feel capable, you’re not just creating a great learning experience for your kids—you’re building a homeschool environment where everyone, including you, can thrive.
