From The Desk Of
Aurora Lipper Dear Fellow Homeschool Parent, Hi there. I'm Aurora Lipper. I've taught science for over a decade, ranging from the university level all the way down to Pre-K. I've worked for NASA, and also in 8th grade classrooms. As I've taught more kids, and experienced real-world science jobs, I've come to discover that there is a much better way to teach science than most schools and universities do. It's a teaching approach that forms the foundation of virtually every great scientist and engineer. In this letter, I will share this relatively simple, but often overlooked, secret.If you're reading this, my guess is that you are either looking for a homeschool science program or you're wondering if you can improve on how your kids are currently learning science. In a moment, I'm going to tell you about one of the very best and easiest ways to teach homeschool science
And you can try it for about 3 cents per day But before I go into that, it's probably a good idea to ask a much more fundamental question: Why does my kid need to learn science anyway?Science and Technology is the most rapidly growing area of our society. More of tomorrows' careers will depend on scientific skills than ever before in history.
So today, more than ever, science education is a critical part of every child's homeschool experience. Science education is critical for kids. But unfortunately, it's not always easy to teach.
If you can relate to any of these, it's okay. You're not alone. So often a parent will confide in me that they really want their kids to get a great science education, but they feel guilty because they don't really have the time that it takes to do a great job teaching it. And then they continue to explain that they don't really know science that well themselves, so it's even harder and takes even longer. Maybe some of this feels familiar. Over the years that I've been teaching science to homeschool kids, I've had the amazing opportunity to connect with literally thousands of kids AND most of their parents.
The combination of the feedback I've gotten, together with my own experiences as a teacher led me to develop a totally new kind of program for teaching homeschool science. It's a program that not only teaches science most textbooks do that but also gets kids totally excited to learn science. I've created a comprehensive science program that not only includes the best academic material that you'll find in any good homeschool curriculum, but also lots more. I call it "e-Science". The online e-Science program gives your kids an absolutely complete science education. Here are some of the key parts of the program (there's actually more than this, but these should give you a good idea to start with):
Experiments that are designed to use inexpensive commonly available materials so shopping for them is easy. Plus, I always try to use inexpensive stuff so you don't need to buy all sorts of expensive supplies and equipment. In fact much of what you already have, or it's free. In depth textbook readings for older kids, so you don't even need to buy a text book Exercises and quizzes so you can keep tabs on what your kids are learning Live interactive video tele-classes every 2-4 weeks where I'll introduce each new unit and answer questions. All videos are saved online so your kids can do lessons at their own pace. Different kids are at different levels, so you can go through the lessons at any pace that is right for your kids. And, the program is super-easy to use. It literally guides you step-by-step through the material. Then when it comes to activities, it gives kids plenty of chances to be creative and experiment with their own ideas. Give your kids the chance to go through this program, and within 2 weeks, they will be teaching you science! Since the program is totally online, you can start immediately. New content is added regularly, so your kids will not only learn the ordinary stuff, but also get introduced to ways science is used in the world today.
The online e-Science program includes things like this, and a whole lot more. I used to teach Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly University (Short for California Polytechnic University). I noticed that a lot of students even on a college level would get bored with the material because they just didn't see how it applied to practical situations. Sure, they did fine on exams, but that was just because they got good at playing the "academic game." I wanted something better for my classes. So I had this crazy idea.
I mean what better (and more fun) way is there to learn about stuff like acceleration and G-force than by careening around a roller coaster at 70 MPH? Sure, the students had a great time. But they learned more about physics and engineering in that one day than they probably learned during a whole semester of regular classes.
It was students who had taken that class a year or two earlier who saw me on campus or around town and told me how they didn't really understand engineering until they took that class. Sure, they could do the textbook problems, but it was the practical hands-on experience that really made it all click. After all, not many careers involve solving problems in textbooks. What I discovered through teaching classes like this was a relatively simple but incredibly powerful method for teaching science to kids in a way that really sticks. And I mean it sticks for years. It's not just about teaching science. It's about creating a true fascination for learning and discover through science. So after having such great success with university students, I adapted my strategies for younger kids. It turns out, it worked And after years of refinement and improvement, my K-12 programs have improved even more. With this program your kids learn science in a way that's just plain more fun and easier than the traditional way.
If you have been stressed about being able to
I'm super-excited about the online e-Science program. But what really counts is the results that parents are seeing in their kids. I recently got an email from a mom who is doing the online science program with her kids. It really touched me on a deep level. So, I'm going to share part of it here:
But this wasn't the only one I got. Maybe you can appreciate how some of these parents are feeling:
This one was pretty cool...
If you've been stressed about teaching science, take a deep breath.

Just as many universities now offer distance learning programs where students can view a classroom presentation from across the world, as well as accessing all their course materials online, I'm doing the same for homeschool science. These are complete weekly science lessons that kids can work through on their own. You can just set them up with the computer and I'll take them through the lesson. Or you can sit beside them and work with them through the material - whatever approach works best for you is fine. |
You don't even need to understand the material yourself , but can still feel confident that they're getting good quality education.
Universities like Harvard and Stanford (where I went to graduate school) have used this same technology to create two of the leading distance learning programs in the world, serving tens of thousands of people. Now the same technology is available for you to help your kids learn.
To really give you an idea of what the program is like, there's nothing like taking a quick peek at some of the videos from it.
Here are just a few random samples from the program
Let's start with a typical lesson:
The class-style presentations usually take place in my lab, such as this one below:
But sometimes I'll include a few from a live workshops, such as this next video. This one was from a workshop I did earlier this year I apologize for the slightly fuzzy sound, but I think the presence of the live class makes it well worth it - check out the video below:
This next one (below) is a typical experiment from the program:
These are just some random samples. They are pretty typical of what the program includes. Of course there's way more than just videos in it. Let me tell you all of what it includes.
Teaching presentations and demonstrations on video for each topic
Step-by-step videos for doing activities and experiments
Age-level appropriate textbook readings
Workbook Exercises, activities & Quizzes
Flexibility to complete each lesson as your child is ready.
Lessons are structured in a suggested sequence. You can choose to follow them in order, or feel free to jump around as it best serves your child.
New content added regularly. A new unit is added every 2-4 weeks.
Full access to all past content (Including everything from the summer e-camp program)
Topics also include science history, inventors and real scientists today
Detailed materials lists for each unit. Most materials are things that people have around the house, or can pick up at the grocery store or drug store. Plus, I've made a point of keeping the cost of materials low. In fact, many of the experiments use parts and pieces that are free. (Some parents will choose mainly to do these experiments, and that's fine).
More advanced material is available for high-schoolers, and advanced 5-8th graders. This includes all the topics you would have in a high-end traditional 9-12th grade science class. It is also great for middle school kids who really excel in science.
Just some of the topics covered will include:

Physics of motion |
Each time a new unit is put online, I'll have a live video tele-class to introduce it. I'll be on the line to talk with everyone you'll get an overview of the unit and a chance to ask me questions.
There is also a place to ask questions and communicate with other homeschoolers online, and of course a photo gallery where you can submit pictures of what your kids have done and share them with others.
I know that you really want to be sure this is right for your family (I know I feel that way about my own kids).
So here are some of the common questions parents ask me about the program:
"What if I don't know how to teach science myself?"
That's just fine! You don't need to know a thing about science for your kids to get a great science education with the e-Science program.
It is a self-guided program. This means you can set your kids up with it and let them do it by themselves. Or, you can work through the material together with them. And some families do a combination that fits their schedule and their kids' needs. Don't worry, you can relax. You don't even need to understand the material yourself for your kids to get a great science education (unless you want to). |
"I've seen lots of those cheesy cartoon animations in online programs. What exactly do you mean by 'videos?' "
Boy I know what you mean about those silly animations I'd be bored stiff watching those myself. My videos are the real deal. They are of me on camera teaching real hands-on science (usually in my lab, but sometimes "on location' to show real-world science). I demonstrate actual experiments, then show your kids how to do them at home.
This the best combination of in-the-lab and real-world science education out there. An I promise, no silly cartoons or boring screenfuls of text!
By the way, I've been featured in dozens of video productions, including videos sold by The Discovery Channel.
"When do the classes meet? What if my kids can't make it?"
Everyone has different schedules. The e-Science program is designed to be done at your kids' convenience. All lessons are pre-recorded and can be done when you choose. You can even split a lesson into pieces, or just do the parts of them that you want to.
"What is your perspective on creation and religion? How does your program deal with this?"
This program is designed to serve all families, regardless of individual beliefs. Each lesson has been carefully structured so that it is "creation neutral."
This means that if you choose to incorporate a religious perspective into your child's education, this program will easily allow you to do so, and will not conflict with traditional religious perspectives.
However, if you prefer to keep science separate from religion, this program will be perfect for your family as well. There are no references to any religious concepts or belief systems in any of the lessons.
Religion is a very personal choice, and I totally respect that. As such, this program leaves it to you as a parent to decide if you want to incorporate religion or not.
"How much will the materials cost each month and where do I get them?"
I've designed each experiment to use low-cost alternatives to traditional scientific materials. The truth is, you don't need fancy stuff to learn real science. For example, instead of buying a lab scale and weight set, we'll use marbles and a ruler with some string (and actually learn more in the process).

Materials for some experiments cost more than others. If you like, you can choose to only do the low-cost or no-cost experiments and still know your kids are getting a great science education. Most materials are things you have around the house, or that you can get from a grocery or drug store. For any more advanced experiments that require special parts, I'll tell you exactly where to get them and even give you the part number to make it as easy as possible. |
It is appropriate for kids ages 7 through 17 years. There is a separate section of advanced activities for older kids. Age appropriate material is given for each age group.
"How much does it cost?"
A lot less than you think!
So you're probably wondering how much this all costs. After all, many traditional science curriculums cost from $300 to over $800. And that's just for a collection of books and CD's (No live interaction or real teachers on video). Some online programs cost over $900 per year.
That's just too much!
I want great science education to be available to all kids. So the online e-Science program only costs $27 a month. But if you're like me, you want to try things out before you commit to them.
No kidding. Really, it's just $1 for the first month. And you can cancel any time. I really mean that. You can cancel your enrollment after 2 days or 20 days if you like and it won't cost you a penny more.
There is absolutely no risk for you.
But, this program is not for everyone.
| Like anything in life, there is not "one size fits all" science program. While this program is right for many families, I want you to feel totally comfortable that this program is right for you and your kids. If it's not, then honestly, I would rather see you spend your hard-earned money on something that suits you better. Like I said, you can cancel anytime and you won't ever owe another cent. | ![]() |
After the first month, the cost is just $27 per month for as long as you are enrolled. In a few months, the price will probably go up to $37. But if you enroll now, you will be guaranteed this monthly rate for as long as you stay in the program.
Are your kids doing High School level science?
If you have high school level kids, or middle school kids who really excel in science, we have a special program just for them. It includes lots more information, advanced videos and more involved textbook content. It's designed to not only be totally fun and engaging, but also to give them a solid foundation for college.
| This program also includes all of the content of our regular K-8 program that I just described, as well as the high school (and advanced middle school) material. Since there is so much more in this program, the price is slightly higher. This program costs just $47 per month (I expect this will increase to $67 per month in the near future, but you can lock in the $47 rate by enrolling now). | ![]() |
This program risk-free also.
You can try out the High School and advanced Middle School program for just $1 too. Take it for a test drive. See how it works for your kids.
Because I've recently made lots of changes and improvements to the online e-Science program, I'm trying to get as much feedback as I can from parents. In order to get the best feedback, I want to encourage as many parents as possible to try it out.
So to help benefit as many kids as possible,
for everyone who enrolls this month,
I'm going to include a bunch of extra bonuses for FREE!
In addition to the most complete homeschool science program out there, you'll also get:
Free access to live monthly video tele-classes for a year
Each month, you'll get to participate in a LIVE online class where I take your kids step-by-step through totally cool experiments.
I've yet to hear from a kids to didn't have a total blast with these AND learn a whole lot too.
Free Bonus #2 ($17 value)A copy of the online "Science Experiment Guide" This e-book is packed full of experiments and activities you can start with immediately. They're fun and easy things that will really capture your kids' interest. It includes experiments on how airplanes fly, crystal farming, volcanoes, roller coasters and more. You'll get immediate access to download it as soon as you enroll. Many parents just print it out and give it to their kids to get going. |

Free Bonus #3 ($54 value)No extra charge for each of your kids Usually, each child is enrolled separately and costs more. Right now, you can have all the kids in your home enrolled in the program for the price of one. |
Free subscription to "The Rocket Scientist" science experiment newsletter for a full school year
In this regular newsletter, you'll get everything from tips for parents on how to teach science better, to building a model hovercraft out of household stuff.
Every week or so, you'll get a new issue.
Discount rate locked in for as long as your kids are enrolled
Your monthly rate stays the same as long as your kids stay enrolled in the program. Even if the regular price increases $20 per month for new students, your rate stays the same.
If you are, then now is the time to make it happen.
Remember, there is absolutely no risk for you.
Is it worth $1 to try what might be a
Life-changing educational experience for your kids?
In fact, if you don't think the program is the best thing you can do to give your kids an outstanding science education, send me an email asking for a refund and I'll even return your $1.
Even if you decide the program is not right for you,
you can keep the bonuses as my way of saying
"Thanks for trying it."
But... This opportunity won't be around for too long.
Like I said, this special trial and all the free bonuses are to help me get the feedback I need to make the program even better. Once enough kids are enrolled, this offer will no longer be available.
If you wait, you might come back to this web page
and see "Sold Out" across the top.
But I don't want this to happen to you and your kids!
I always feel bad when I get an email that says something like "I really wanted to sign my son up for your program, but I can't get in anymore. Is there anything you can do?" I've been there myself, and it's a miserable feeling. PLEASE, don't let this happen to you!
I don't want you to be one of the parents who has to explain to their kid why they won't get to do all the extra cool experiments.
Also, remember that the price of the program WILL go up.
I don't have a date set yet, but I can tell you that this is the lowest price you'll ever be able to get this program for. It might be a week, or maybe a few months. Wouldn't it feel good to know that you got in at this low price AND are locked in to it even as other people are paying more?
If you're stressed about teaching homeschool science,
How would it feel to be able to let all that go?
So, here's the quick summary. You get to try out the program for just $1. After that, it's $27 per month. You get 5 free bonuses too, including tons of extra experiments and a locked in low price. If you're still not sure whether to try the online e-Science program, here's something to consider. Most things in life have some risk. EXCEPT THIS ONE! |
