Biology, earth and space science

Here they are! My biology, earth and space science plans for 1st-8th. I'm scared of high school science and am putting off making any plans for that. The idea is that we will cover each science (biology, earth/space, chemistry and physics) three times, in the grammar years (1st - 4th), logic years (5th - 8th) and rhetoric years (9th - 12th). Please note: These plans are likely to change, they are NOT final! So, here they are:

Biographies will be for the time period and science we are studying.
I would like to have "Science Nights" for family and friends to come over and have fun with science. My kids will do a project for these each month. The one in the spring will also be for the local homeschool science fair.
I'm working on our chemistry and physics plans.
