Many parents ask me what to teach for home school science.  Well, the possibilities are really endless.  You are surrounded by science since all of creation is observable “Science”.  At an early age, plant seeds and study the life cycle of living organisms like butterflies, bees, insects, plants, animals like chickens, etc.  Plant seeds in pots or in a garden.  Document the entire cycle in pictures/and or writing.  If you are allowed to have chickens (I cannot see why not since chickens are very “green”, but this is another subject) hatch chicks and raise chickens.  If lifestyle does not permit this, visit a farm and draw pictures about the process.  At the farm, milk a cow or watch a cow being milked.  Make butter.  Plant milkweed or consider purchasing a butterfly hatching kit.  Visit an aquarium.  Visit an aeronautical museum.  Go to a used bookstore and buy used science books.  Visit the library and check out books about the solar system or watch You Tube videos about the solar system, human body systems like circulatory, nervous, respiratory, etc.  Build a robot.  Go rock digging at a specified site or visit a geologic museum.  Take a fishing trip.  Visit tide pools if you are able.  Check out Scholastic and buy science kits:  https://store.scholastic.com/search/search/Science?N=4502~4518

Consider edible science:
