Turnip Ink curriculum

Viscera and Villains

Gross, funny, high-rigor life science: every lesson is a case to crack.

Homeschool

A year of life science, one mystery Case File a week

Every week your 7th grader opens a Case File: a hoax, a crime or a mystery that only science can solve. They read, write and run hands-on labs on their own for three days, then crack the case with you on Day 4. Open-and-go parent scripts and answer copies are included, so you don't need a science background.

Who it's for

Families homeschooling 7th-grade life science, with a parent who can work alongside their student one day a week.

Schedule

4 days a week, about 3 hours in all: Days 1 to 3 are independent (about 40 to 45 minutes each); Day 4 is 60 to 75 minutes with a parent.

Materials

Kitchen and household supplies listed in each week's Materials and Prep sheet; dissection specimens are optional (paper versions are included) and a microscope is recommended but never required.

What's included

36 mystery Case Files, one per week, from the cell to whole ecosystems
4 Student Case File Workbooks, one per unit
4 Parent Manuals with prep, Day 4 scripts, answer copies and Sealed Reveals
4 Assessments files with optional weekly quizzes and unit tests, with keys
7 Paper Dissection models to print on cardstock, plus 8 No-Dissection Option days for families who prefer no specimens
4 unit book lists of science comics, graphic novels and true stories

Cells and heredity: what living things are made of, how cells get energy, divide and copy DNA, and how traits are inherited.

2Anatomy

The human body: bones, muscles, lungs, heart, nerves, digestion and waste removal, and how forensic scientists read evidence.

3Kingdoms of Life

Bacteria, fungi and plants, then the animal kingdom from worms to birds, studied through dissections.

4Ecology

How energy and matter move through ecosystems, the biomes and waters of Earth, and how scientists protect wildlife.
