Homeschool Science

Hi, I'm Zisa, a former homeschool mom of four, a certified Regenerative Soil Consultant (trained by Matt Powers) and a certified Permaculture Designer (trained by Geoff Lawton). Science was always my favorite subject to teach. Now I'm creating hands-on soil biology for the whole family, called the Living Soil Network: one topic, taught at different depths for different ages. Download the free printables below, try a Living Lab project, and help shape the course by taking the 7-minute parent survey.

Living Lab and Coming Soon

Living Lab is a weekly hands-on project for the whole family: homemade yogurt, sprouts in a jar, a moss terrarium, mushroom blocks, a worm bin and more. Every week shows a living system you can watch up close, and more than half of the projects need no bugs at all. Follow along on Facebook and Instagram @orchardchick.

 

Coming soon: the Living Soil Network video series (one soil crew at a time), a book series for curious kids and parents, and a beta version of the full curriculum. A few families will win free beta access in a raffle, in exchange for using it and sharing what works. No purchase necessary. Enter through the parent survey above.
