About HandsomeScienceTeacher Curriculum 

All curriculum on this website has been designed by Mr. Bertoch, who is a certified science teacher with three degrees in science and curriculum development. Mr. Bertoch also happens to be the father of six hometaught children, and the grandfather of two hometaught children.

Mr. Bertoch taught in public schools for ten years, where he was the teacher of the year.

This curriculum covers your entire middle school science education (5th – 8th grade). It is based on the Next Generation Science Standards developed by the National Science Foundation. These are the standards used by most states in the United States.

These 64 units cover everything your middle school science student needs to learn between 5th and 8th grade. If they complete these 64 units, they will have a very solid understanding of science.

It is recommended that you complete 16 units per school year. Which should take you approximately 32 total weeks (two weeks per unit). With holiday breaks, spring breaks, and summer break, this is very manageable.
