Introduction: Welcome to Noeo Welcome to Noeo Science! Thank you for trusting us to provide you with quality materials for teaching science at home. We understand that many homeschooling parents do not have a science background and may feel a bit intimidated about teaching science . . . especially when it comes to the experiments! Our books and experiments have been carefully selected to be of the highest quality available, yet simple enough for even the most science-phobic teachers and students.
TEACHING METHOD CORRESPONDING NOEO SCIENCE CURRICULUM QUALITIES • • Classical • Charlotte Mason • • • Emphasizes vocabulary development, especially in the younger years. Develops critical thinking skills and logic through the use of the scientific method. Incorporates the classical stages of learning, i.e., the Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric). Provides the best books available (including “living books”). Utilizes a child’s natural curiosity to acquire knowledge. “Studies serve for delight”.
are included at logical points within the three major science studies. For example, astronomy is studied in parallel with the study of gravity within the physics curriculum.
Experiment Guide Science is not a spectator sport. The best way for your child to learn and truly comprehend science is by doing hands-on experiments and activities. We know that this is one of the most dreaded parts of science for many homeschool families; that’s why we were determined to put together high quality but straightforward experiments. Noeo provides a strong foundation in science without wreaking havoc on your daily schedule.
Student Lab Manual In the Student Lab Manual, your student will answer questions about key points both from their reading and experiments. The experiment questions in particular are centered around drawing results, making observations, asking questions, and making connections–all things that will slowly introduce your student to the scientific method and lab reports. Younger students may need to “narrate” their descriptions and observations to you or an older sibling.

UNIT 1:THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Week 1: How Scientists Learn Schedule D AY 1 Mad Margaret Experiments pp. 3–7 with the Scientific Method D AY 2 pp. 8–9 D AY 3 pp. 10–13 Experiment Guide D AY 4 pp. 14–22 Exploring the Scientific Method Overview This first week is so important for all of Noeo that we made it its own unit: We will be learning about the scientific method: It’s how scientists observe and analyze to get information. That sounds complicated, but it’s not: it’s what we all do, all the time.
DAY 3 1. What is the third step in the scientific method? The third step is to form a hypothesis. 2. What is a hypothesis? (use the glossary on p. 23) A hypothesis is a guess about how or why something happens. DAY 4 1. What is the fourth step in the scientific method? The fourth step is to test the hypothesis. 2. What is the fifth step in the scientific method? The fifth step is to share the results.

UNIT 2:WHAT MAT TER IS Week 2: Gloop and Oobleck Schedule D AY 1 What’s the Matter in Mr. Whiskers’ Room? D AY 2 D AY 3 pp. 9–15, Water pp. 16–19, Gloop Droppers Experiment Guide D AY 4 pp. 20–23, Oobleck Gloop Oobleck Overview Last week, you learned about how to “do science”: the scientific method. Now, you get to move on to asking (and answering) questions about the huge and wonderful variety of “stuff” in our world.
DAY 4 1. What is the big idea in Mr. Whiskers’ classroom? Matter can come in different forms. 2. What are the three forms matter can come in? The three forms are solid, liquid, and gas. Optional Activity: Gloop From Home • ¾ teaspoons borax • ½ cup of liquid glue • ¼ cup water • 3 cups with 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon warm water in each cup • 3 small cups or bowls Experiment: Oobleck MATERIALS Included • 7 tablespoons cornstarch From Home • bowl • spoon EXPERIMENT QUESTIONS 1.
