30+ Free Homeschool Science Lessons for Highschoolers

Homeschooling science in high school can be intimidating. That’s why I’m so excited to share these free science lessons for highschoolers!

Plus, I’ve got a HUGE science curriculum giveaway below too!

Greg Landry, from College Prep Science, homeschools his own children and previously taught college science for more than 25 years!

Greg is giving away $1,000 towards homeschool science classes, labs, camps, and other items to one fortunate homeschool family!

But here is my favorite part: Everyone gets something just for entering!

All families who enter will also get 30+ free science lessons for highschoolers that you can use right away!

FREE Biology Sketch-Notes — 24 Free Science Lessons for Highschoolers

One resource includes 24 Biology Sketch-Note lessons. They aren’t just a selection of random worksheets.

The subjects students can study include:

scientific measurement
scientific method and lab reports
chemistry as it relates to biology
cells
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
mitosis and meiosis
genetics
plants
animal classification
homeostasis
the various body systems
embryology
the skeletal system
the muscular system
digestion
blood
the respiratory system
the endocrine system
the reproductive system
sports physiology
and more!

One thing I like about these is the visual format.

Instead of giving students page after page of dense textbook material, the lessons use diagrams, labels, brief explanations, illustrations, and key vocabulary to help students understand how the concepts relate to one another.

For instance, the genetics lesson provides a visual explanation of DNA, chromosomes, dominant and recessive alleles, genotype and phenotype, and Punnett squares with engaging illustrations.

Lessons also cover practical science skills. For example, sections cover how to take measurements, use the scientific method, prepare a lab report, and more.

Students can apply these skills to chemistry, physics, college science courses, and other areas.

FREE Anatomy & Physiology Sketch-Notes — 12 Lessons

Families who enter will also receive a printable set of 12 Anatomy & Physiology Sketch-Note lessons.

This subject is especially useful for a teenager interested in medicine, nursing, or simply understanding how the human body works.

Greg clearly loves teaching anatomy!

The lesson example that he sent me examines the human muscular system and explains that humans possess over 600 muscles. Students study the three main kinds of muscles: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Other concepts included are muscle contraction, ATP, glycogen, cellular respiration, muscle tone, hypertrophy, and proprioception.

The resource also provides detailed anterior and posterior diagrams! Additionally, it includes printable student worksheets to review the material they have learned.

I prefer resources that prompt students not just to memorize a definition, but to look at it, recognize it, compare it, and understand what they are studying.

FREE Conceptual Physics Sketch-Notes — 24 Lessons

You will also get a free printable PDF that includes 24 Conceptual Physics Sketch-Note lessons.

Physics may seem intimidating to both students and parents, but conceptual physics gives students a chance to understand the ideas behind physics in a visual, accessible way.

This makes it another excellent resource to have on hand as your students progress to higher-level science.

Try a Virtual Science Lab for FREE

This may be one of the most interesting freebies for high school students:

You can test-drive Greg’s interactive online homeschool science laboratory.

Instead of just reading about what happens in an experiment, students can interact with a virtual laboratory and follow experimental procedures online.

Greg’s interactive virtual labs for his online science courses cover Biology/Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, and Conceptual Physics. I love this because students don’t need to buy physical lab equipment for the virtual experiments! What a money saver!

If you’ve ever wanted to know how to handle home-based high school science lab work, this is definitely an idea worth trying.

Even More FREE Science Lessons for Highschoolers

Greg is also providing extra individual science lessons!

The lesson on the Muscular System that Greg gave me is an example of the kind of material these resources have. It includes an illustrated science info graphic, some interesting facts, anatomical diagrams, terminology, audio instructions, and student worksheets.

Students are given small questions to investigate at various points. For example, finding out if they have a palmaris longus tendon in their wrist.

A science lesson can be far more memorable if it includes some of those small interactive features rather than just reading through another chapter.

What does College Prep Science provide for high school students?

College Prep Science offers middle and high school students Christ-centered science courses, such as Biology, Chemistry, Conceptual Physics, and Human Anatomy & Physiology. Families can take classes through live online sessions, condensed online courses, self-paced classes, virtual labs, lab intensives, and other available options.

Live high school classes are for students in grades 8 to 12, depending on the subject. Students can attend classes live or watch recordings, complete homework, do virtual lab experiments, write lab reports, take assessed exams, and receive a final grade for the course.

Finally, for families looking for intensive, hands-on laboratory experience, Greg offers lab intensives in Chemistry/Physical Science and Biology/Anatomy & Physiology for students ages 12 to 18.

If all you want is a few free lessons to complement the ones you are currently taking, or if you are in fact looking for assistance with the whole of your high school science course, there is plenty here to consider.

Enter for a chance to win $1,000 worth of homeschool science!
