Beach & Shell Summer Study Unit
Heading to the beach? In true homeschooler style, make it a learning experience. This shell study unit is really great for the younger kids (don’t worry, we have suggestions for the older kiddos coming up) and include matching, spot the difference, patterns and more!

Pond Study Unit
Ponds are a summer staple. This printable study unit will help kiddos learn all about ponds and their ecosystem. It includes a pond visit journal, which would pair great with a fishing or canoe trip. Our older kid always ask a ton of questions about the environment we’re in at any given time, so this study unit will come in hand this summer.

Ocean Study Unit
I promised an ocean study unit for older kids – and here it is. I know you’re probably looking at this picture and thinking it just isn’t going to cut it with your teen or preteen, but I want you to take a second look. The ocean zones, animal identification and anatomy pages and research journal would be great for older kids. AND, as a bonus, you get a lot of great things your younger kiddos will love too.

Weather Study Unit
We love this study unit year round and actually use some pieces of it on our wall as a staple. Our older kids are kind of meh over this unit, but our 5 year old LOVES this and will go running to point out the weather of the day if there’s a sudden change – like yesterday, when it started pouring rain.
