Welcome to Homeschooling Science with Prof. Alexey!
These are the courses I always wanted to create, as a scientist and a homeschool parent. They convey my passion for studying the beauty of our world, and contain everything needed for a rigorous yet easy to do year of homeschooling science.

For an example of a lesson, see Lesson 1 of Module 1 for Grade 4-6 stream here
Some essential features include:
- Stream 1: Grades 4-6
- Stream 2: Grades 7-9
- Four 5-week, 15-class modules for each of the Streams, leading to a fully covered year of science.
- Lessons include short videos and a full printable class material package: reading, scientific journal, experiments, and problems.
- Parents are welcome to participate, but the courses are created to be taken by students largely independently, with minimal parental help.
- Topics are fully mapped to all Western Canadian provincial curricula.
- A certificate of completion for each module may be used as a part of annual homeschooling portfolio.
Grades 4–6 · Homeschool Science, Modules 1–4
Four modules of fifteen lessons each — start with Module 1 in September and finish Module 4 by June, or take them in any order. Short videos, readings, simple experiments, and problems; students work mostly on their own. The first lesson of every module is free.
Grades 7–9 · Homeschool Science, Modules 1–4
The same four-module year for older students: matter and heat, living systems, the physics of forces and energy, and planet Earth and the universe. Mapped to Western Canadian curricula, with a certificate for each module. The first lesson of every module is free.
