Administrators LOVE IT…
“I love that the information in the Nancy Larson Science program is challenging and age-appropriate yet easy for teachers to implement.”
– Sarah Schecter, Head of Lower School, The Oakridge School, Arlington, TX
“We love that Nancy Larson makes teaching science fun and engaging. The content is easy to understand yet lets kids explore, learn and challenge themselves with new concepts and ideas. The note taking skills and the hands-on experiments make challenging content easier to understand, which allows students to learn and retain the information.”
– Michelle Fischer, Executive Director for Education at Mid-South District LCMS in Memphis, TN
“I love this program. Nancy Larson Science has transformed science in our classrooms. Science time is now much more hands-on and interactive, which is of course one of the best ways that students learn. They really enjoy taking on their new scientist role with each unit. Whether it’s being an ornithologist, physicist, or engineer, they all bring an exciting adventure. We have also seen an expansion of their vocabulary through the use of the word wall cards.”
– Kelly Reilly, Principal, Holy Trinity Lutheran School, Tampa, FL
“We love that all materials needed for instruction are together in one kit. Nancy Larson Science has everything. All the materials needed for experiments are listed or provided. A teacher has everything together in one place.”
– Laura Favaloro, Assistant Principal, St. Jude the Apostle School, Baton Rouge, LA
“I love that the academic vocabulary is challenging, yet the students can learn and understand. The hands-on pieces are fantastic! One of our teachers said that this is the best thing that has come along in a long time.”
– Shannon Marler, Former Principal, Dr. Nick Osborne School, Mt. Vernon, IL
“I love watching how the children are excited about the program because there is a predictability about the process, and you can see the scope and sequence growing over time.”
– Deborah O’Neill, Retired Principal, St. Bernadette Catholic School, Northborough, MA
“When I’m investing in a program, I want to know that my teachers love it, and they do.”

Teachers LOVE it…
“We love Nancy Larson Science because it is fun and interactive! The children are excited to come in from afternoon recess because they know it is “science time.” If there is an anchor chart that goes along with the day’s lesson, I’ll have it mounted on the wall when they enter the room. It is so fun to hear the excited chatter from the children! I always leave the anchor charts on the walls around the room for the children to refer to during that particular unit.”
– Allison Allen, 2nd grade teacher, Tunica Academy, Tunica, MS
“I love this program! It is highly organized, easy to teach, and captures the students’ attention. It is more than science content. It is reading, writing, and vocabulary building. I’m a big fan of this program.”
– Erin Kemp, 3rd grade teacher, St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School, Greenville, MI
“I love the science vocabulary. I hear the kids using it all the time. I know these kids are getting prepared for upper grades. They are learning chemical compounds now, and this gives them confidence as they move to higher levels of science. They know they can do it. My bilingual students do great with this program.”
– Jessica Matichek, 3rd grade teacher, All Saints Catholic School, Wichita, KS
”I absolutely loved using Nancy Larson Science last year. My students looked forward to it every week, and I greatly appreciated having printed scripts and digital resources to help guide my instruction. I can’t wait to teach it again this year!”
– Jersey Podsednik, 3rd grade teacher, Bishop Louis Reicher Catholic School, Waco, TX
“The children love all of the student booklets, and the resource books are also great for nonfiction reading instruction.”
– Tammy DeWitt, kindergarten teacher, St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School, Greenville, MI
“I love to see the children using the science vocabulary and actually knowing what it means.”
– Diana Weixelman, 1st grade teacher, All Saints Catholic School, Wichita, KS
