Do y’all remember the Creation Science for Kids curriculum my family used last year? The Earth Science Unit and Biology Science Unit written by fellow homeschooling mom Mia of Homeschool Science Curriculum. We loved it! I’m happy to report, Mia has done it again. Ecology and Astronomy is now available for purchase. This curriculum is so great and easy to use!
The Ecology/Astronomy Science Study Unit contains the following 12 lessons:
- Biomes
- Consumers
- Food Chain
- Natural Cycles
- Coping with Change
- Pollution
- Stars
- Our Star
- Planets
- Our Moon
- Space Rocks
- Missions to Space
The lessons are designed to line up with the memory work from Classical Conversations. It is 75 full-color pages with high-quality relevant photographs. Each of the easy-to-use 12 lessons ends with Bible-based questions to encourage discussion. We review them as a family, but you could just as easily give them to your older student to complete independently. We all gather around my computer to read and discuss the lesson during our science time, but it could also be printed for use. My littles consider any computer time a treat, so this works for us! Besides being Bible-based, easy to use, and beautiful, Ecology and Astronomy is also affordable at only $4.99! Visit here to see sample pages from 6 different units and a free Genesis 1 Bible study unit. I’m seriously so excited and grateful to use this curriculum again this year! Mia was generous in sharing a copy with me to review and tell you all about. But, her generosity didn’t end there! Mia has also offered 10 copies of Ecology and Astronomy to giveaway to y’all! If you win, Mia will send a link for you to download the file. Then it is your option to print or use on your computer. Please enter below for your chance to win!

Would love to win this! This will be our first year in CC, My girls are 10 and 11
welcome to CC!
We study science classically and supplement it by field trips and experiments/projects.
oo, yes! we love field trips! wanna share your favorite stops?
I love getting outside, then coming inside to research what I saw outside.
Rhoda Baldon Yost
we do alot of outside time too 🙂 it really gets the curiosity going.
This is also our first year in CC and I’m tutoring my daughter’s class as well. This looks like a great way to link what we do at home to what we’re learning in CC. Thanks for the giveaway…
welcome! it really is a great link. if you don’t win, consider buying it anyway. it’s simple to implement w/ good info.
This is our second year in CC and my first year to tutor. I love that this would go right with what we’re studying. Thanks for reviewing it!
so thankful for the tutors! glad you’re doing it 🙂
We have used these the past couple years in CC and they are wonderful. I especially appreciate the way the Bible is interwoven with the material. Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
hey melanie! i’m glad you’ve used & liked them as well!! 🙂
We do lapbooks, keep journals, read bunches and bunches, and just get outside to study science. Would LOVE to have these on hand for Cycle 2- what a GREAT resource! Thanks for hosting, Beth!
hey magistra mommy! 🙂 sounds like we approach science the same way. this is a great curriculum! consider checking it out, even if you don’t win a copy!
This is our second year doing CC. We would love to win this!
I would love to win this too. This is our second year in CC. Science is usually studied her by allowing the children to explore God’s world and then research what they find. Now that they are getting older, I would like to have a little more structured curriculum for this.
hey cathy! that’s awesome. we like spending lots of time outdoors also. it’s a great way to teach littles to observe. 🙂
I’d love to give this a try!
hope you get the chance! it’s great!
Wow, what a treat. My son loves science,, so classes, nature walks, books, anything we can get our hands on. This is our first year of CC and super excited.
welcome to cc, stacy!
Thank you!:)
we have only been doing CC science facts and experiments for the last two years. As my girls get older, I feel that I need to add more.
that’s great, sue! adding a bit more reading in is a great way to add more.
Love bible Based science! This is our 3rd year in CC, very excited about Astronomy!
we are too, kj! considering the purchase of a telescope here…
This is our first year in CC, and we love studying science. Thank you!
welcome to cc!
We study science through CC, interest led and our country life, through our reading time.

oo, country life. that sounds nice!
This is our first year with full-time homeschool. Our science is all based on CC.
nice, michelle! happy transitioning!
We do a lot of lapbooks and experiments – no formal curriculum though. However, we are starting CC this year, so will most likely follow the schedule for that!
welcome to cc, andrea!
Would love to take a look at this.
if you don’t win a copy, consider buying one. it’s really great! in the meantime, you can check out the sample pages to get an idea of what to expect.
We love CC Science and would appreciate having something to supplement it with:)
science is great with CC! i find this curriculum to be just the right amount to add. 🙂

Sounds great!!! Would like to win!!
fingers crossed for you! 😉
New Homeschool Mama and would love to win this!! Thanks for the opportunity!
how exciting! welcome to homeschooling! 🙂
we usually just use the CC science topic and research. then we use our knowledge from IEW to do some key word outlines and write a paragraph about the topic.
that’s awesome, jaime!
This will be our 2nd time around with cycle 2. This would definetly help us dig deeper (:
ooo, second time around! that’s exciting. i’m so curious how different that experience is. guess we’ll find out in another year!
We like to study science through CC and real world experiences!
yes, great way to do it!
This looks great! I can’t wait to use it!
it is great! glad you entered 🙂
I also used this curriculum last year and loved it!
i’m so glad to hear that you love it too! 🙂
This would be helpful! Science is my son’s favorite subject but I’m always at a loss.
as much as i enjoy science, it is certainly an area where i still have SO much room to learn (even in the grammar stage!)
We just use the CC science topic and dig deeper from there. We also do tons of experiments!!
Lanie
that’s great, lanie!
We’ll be using lots of ideas from pinterest for experiments, but I’ve also been picking up books along the way for the different science weeks. Since this is our first year, I’m not totally sure what’s going to work best for us, but this is awesome!! I love that is corresponds to CC!!
We do CC only for science. In cycle 3, my daughter also read Apologia Anatomy book, but last year we didn’t supplement anything else. Oh, we watch magic school bus science video.
I love the It Couldn’t Just Happen book to supplement science.
We are in CC and I’m a tutor and this would be SO useful for us!
We are new to CC & this would be great!!
Thanks for another awesome giveaway;)
Right now, we study science via our CC memory work. Also, we read a lot. Field trips really top it off.
We do observations, journals and lapbooks, lots of reading, videos, & home experiments. Thanks for the oppurtunity!
My son is five and so far, we’ve done CC, nature studies and lots of living books. This looks like a great resource. Thanks for the review and giveaway.
This is our first year of C.C. and only our second year of homeschooling, so I can’t say I actually HAVE a way of studying science just yet. But this sure would help!! Fingers crossed!!
We have studied science in a variety of ways: nature read alouds, co-op classes, and more formal (textbook) curriculum. We are part of a CC community now and I would love to try this resource from Homeschool Curriculum. Thanks for the great giveaway! 🙂
Is this no longer available for purchase?
I think you’re right, Heather, that it’s not.
