Discover! Science 5
How do weather patterns shape life on Earth? What keeps ecosystems in balance? How does the human body defend itself from illness? Discover! Science 5 helps fifth graders explore the systems and processes that influence both our planet and ourselves.
This full-year homeschool curriculum investigates matter, energy, weather patterns, biomes, ecosystems, sound, the solar system, and the human immune and nervous systems. Through colorful student worktexts, your child will explore scientific concepts through engaging readings, hands-on activities, observations, and real-world applications.
As the topics become more complex, the lessons encourage your child to think independently, ask thoughtful questions, make connections between concepts, and apply scientific reasoning to new situations. Activities are designed to support a variety of learning styles while helping students build confidence in their understanding of science.
The accompanying Instructor Guide provides lesson support, answer keys, assessments, pacing suggestions, and additional teaching ideas. Together, the worktexts and guide create an open-and-go program that is easy to implement while still providing meaningful science instruction.
Designed specifically for homeschool families, Discover! Science 5 combines clear explanations, thoughtful activities, and flexible support to help your child build scientific knowledge while strengthening observation, investigation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
How to Use Discover! Science
- Discover! Science is designed as a full-year curriculum. We suggest completing two lessons each week, or one lesson and one review, to comfortably finish the course during a typical academic year.
- Each lesson begins with a short introduction that connects the science concept to everyday life. Read through the lesson together, then discuss the questions and complete any written or hands-on activities. Encourage your child to make observations, ask questions, and explain what he is learning in his own words.
- Use the Instructor Guide as your primary teaching resource. It provides lesson support, answer keys, pacing suggestions, and additional activity ideas to reinforce concepts and accommodate different learning styles.
- At regular intervals, your child will have opportunities to demonstrate understanding through projects or quizzes. Choose the assessment option that best fits your child's learning style and your homeschool goals.
- Don't feel pressured to rush through the material. Science is often best learned through discussion, observation, and exploration. If a topic sparks extra interest, take time to investigate it further before moving on.
By the end of the course, your child will have developed a stronger understanding of scientific concepts while practicing the skills scientists use every day: observing, questioning, investigating, and communicating discoveries.

I like how this book gives you options to do experiments, create crafts or to do extra research online for the topic. We do 2 lessons a week over 4 days. This was our fist yearusing this curriculum.

Difficult to comprehend
Jamie K.
I found this material difficult to teach, and my child found it difficult to comprehend. New vocabulary is quickly taught and then instantly used without much of a chance to fully understand. The material wasn't presented in a manner suited for a young mind. It reads very much like a text book which is not engaging for a 5th grader at all. My child read the Dr. Boneyfide book in one sitting, and regularly reads Magic School bus. This book was boring. There was also at least one mistake, mislabeling a solvent and solution. We didn't make it past lesson 10. I did like the options presented in the instructors manual for presenting the information to the different learning styles.
