K–8 Homeschool Science Curriculum with Real Experiments
God's Design Science is a complete elementary science curriculum designed for family-style teaching. Synchronized scheduling lets you combine Beginners (K–2) and Standard (grades 5–8) books so siblings study the same topic together, at the right level, on the same day, all from a biblical creationist worldview that grows Christian faith alongside serious scientific thinking.
Biblical Worldview
Every lesson is framed around God as the intelligent designer
Family-Style Learning
All your children can study science together, making lasting memories.
Real Experiments
Formal scientific method in grades 5–8; hands-on activities at every level.
Open-and-Go Teaching
Pre-built lesson plans, built-in schedules, no advance prep required.
My reluctant learner now asks if we can do science first, every day. I also love that I am able to use this curriculum family style for all three of my children at different grade levels. But the best part about this curriculum is that it's centered around God."

God's Design FAQ
A. The basics and add-ons depend on whether you’re using the Beginners books or Standard books.
- For the Beginners books (K-2), you need only the single text.
- For the Standard books, you need both the Student Book and Teacher Guide.
Extras: Supply kits are optional add-ons for all books, and Academy video supplements are available for the Standard books.
A. No. Supply kits are optional add-ons, and the supplies themselves are ordinary items most families already have or can pick up easily. Many families simply work from the supply checklist included in the Teacher Guide, gathering what they need week by week. The kits are a convenience purchase for families who want everything pre-assembled and ready to go. Preview the supply lists to see what's involved before you decide.
