• A curriculum that is little to no prep for the parent
• One that is affordable
• Something that can be used with multiple kids at different learning levels
• You want your child to be able to work independently
• Your child enjoys reading
• That can be easily reused for later students

As a homeschool mom with 3 kids who works as well, this curriculum was perfect for us. It allowed me to make sure the topic was covered well, my daughter could work on her own without my help, and it’s super affordable."

"I really appreciated the simple style. It has made all the difference. Although the unit is geared towards Grades 4-6 (ages 9-12) I was able to do it with my 4th grader age 10 as well as my Kindergartener age 6. We usually do science and social studies family-style. The best part of this set was definitely the flash cards. What a great visual resource where one can easily identify the “part of the body.” The learning guide is nice and simple for the “teacher/parent”... It is certainly great to give you ideas to identify and connect with the material. The entire course was an absolute breeze for us. This doesn’t feel over complicated and you can certainly supplement and add in more information for a more advanced student. Because we had technically finished our school year, we took our time and only did 2 chapters a week."

"Perfect for the homeschool mom who needs something their child can work on independently. Clear illustrations and crisp writing, along with a student-led checklist and supplementary flash cards all come together to create a simple, yet effective way to independently learn about the human body."

"It's a nice unit that comes with flashcards, a guide book, a small journal, a textbook, and an exam (with key provided).

The unit is organized by body parts and systems—first, about cells, organs, etc and then to the body's systems (nervous, circulatory, etc). The flashcards are grouped by system as well.

The guidebook for the student is a checklist of things to do with each chapter (reading, using the flashcards, etc). My daughter loved checking each task off.

My daughter also loved the small journal that came with the unit. She wrote notes and drew pictures in it.

The end project and exam are wonderful. The end project was tracing a person on a big sheet of paper and labeling the parts/systems she learned about. The exam was short and great for assessing what she learned.

The textbook is fabulous. It's colorful without being dumbed down (like overly cartoonish). The information in it is clear and concise. The pictures are drawn—which might be a drawback for some—but I like that it's not graphic. I'm not a fan of blood and gut pictures.

My daughter liked studying this unit. I could tell that she understood it well by doing the different review activities with her. I think she liked that the chapters weren't too long.

I had fun participating with my daughter as she completed everything. I like how it was designed for her to teach herself and then show me what she learned by having me quiz her with the flashcards. This is a healthy pedagogical system that works. She did the work and then showed me. Her understanding of the concepts is phenomenal, I think, because of this. In summary, I recommend this homeschool unit and it's methodology. I look forward to buying other units to do with my children from Heron Books."
