Rabbit Trails through Science: Bugs is a literature-based science curriculum for all elementary age children. It contains 13 lessons, with each lesson taking two weeks to cover. This makes it a 26-week curriculum, which will take about 2 semesters, or a full school year, to complete.

This science curriculum has 13 lessons on bugs so that you will become expert entomologists! The 13 different lessons and Rabbit Trails include:

This Curriculum’s Main Books

The main books that go along with this curriculum are:

Explanatorium of Nature

 

This is the spine we use to get information for our lessons. This book contains awesome pictures, diagrams, and more. It is also the spine for many of our other nature units! (Pictured is the new edition of this book. Both the old silver cover and new editions will work with this curriculum!)

Insectlopedia

 

Children will delight in the playful language and hilarious illustrations while they learn about twenty-one insects that will bug or beguile them. Children will use poetry from this book for their copywork.

What about a sample schedule? I created Rabbit Trails through Science to not have any boxes to check- I want homeschool families to make Rabbit Trails fit into their everyday lives without stressing about what lesson needs to be done each day. However, I know some people like to have a lesson all laid out for them so they can envision how the curriculum will fit into their homeschool. I have attached a file that shows a sample schedule for one lesson to give you an idea of how I personally lay out the lessons in my own homeschool.
