Elementary Anatomy Homeschool Curriculum Review
I was sponsored by Masterbooks to review their Elementary Anatomy homeschool curriculum and am excited to share my experience! As always, all opinions are 100% my own, and I am honored to partner with a company that I believe in.
Although this curriculum is for 3rd through 6th grade, I am actually using it with my 2nd and 3rd graders. You know a curriculum is good when it is easy enough for younger children to understand without being to easy or babyish for older students.
What I liked:
- Gorgeous, full-color photos and diagrams
- Written with a Biblical worldview
- Ready-made lesson plans
- Lots of hands-on activities; most do not require special supplies other than household items
- All-inclusive curriculum; all worksheets, tests, flashcards, etc. are included in the teacher book
- Homeschooling families are free to copy consumable pages for use with multiple children
What I didn't quite love:
I am not very “mainstream” in my views when it comes to health and wellness. The curriculum is written by an M.D. and the “mainstream” philosophies of the author have shown up a few times throughout the textbook. That's not enough to make me dislike the curriculum by any means; just something to be aware of if you're a little more on the “alternative” side. 🙂
Overall conclusion: (aka “Would I choose this curriculum again?”)
Yes! Without a doubt, yes! Not only are these books gorgeous (which makes them very appealing to kids), the lessons are thorough without being too long; I like the ratio of bookwork to hands-on activity, the price is very reasonable, and (most importantly to me) it's a completely open-and-go curriculum – no planning for mom! (Yay!)
