When doing unit studies, it's easy to get stuck on a few topics. To prevent major “holes” in learning, here is a list of science unit resources that I have written, organized over a six year period. If you continue unit studies in middle and high school, simply repeat the pattern using more difficult materials. I will continue to add to this as I write more resources.
