Launching my science teacher subscription service has been one of the most exciting steps in my journey as The Teaching Astrophysicist. After creating hundreds and hundreds of science teaching resources across every major discipline - space science, biology, chemistry, physics, health and medical science, and earth science - I knew it was time to build something even more helpful, more supportive, and more accessible for teachers everywhere.
That “something” became my Science Teacher Resource Subscription Services: monthly memberships that deliver five high-quality, classroom-ready teaching resources straight to your inbox - each one designed to save time, spark curiosity, and strengthen your science instruction.
This blog post is all about why I’m so excited to offer these subscription services, why they’re such powerful tools for middle and high school teachers, and why they deliver tremendous value for the price - far beyond what you typically see in teaching resource marketplaces.
Why a Science Resource Subscription Is a Game-Changer for Teachers
1. Science teachers deserve meaningful support
Teaching science is rewarding, but it’s also demanding. Labs, safety rules, demos, long units, fast pacing, and high expectations can make planning overwhelming. A subscription removes planning pressure by giving you a steady flow of high-quality, ready-to-use resources each month.
Whether you’re prepping for astronomy one week and human biology the next, your subscription makes it easy to stay ahead with materials that are expertly designed, visually engaging, and aligned with real classroom needs.
2. You receive 5 different resources every month
Each month includes a carefully curated blend of:
Science reading passages with comprehension questions
Research project templates (webquests)
Critical thinking frameworks
Hexagonal thinking activity templates
Interactive worksheets
Strange but true fact sets
Science stories
Mini projects and challenges
Digital activities and simulations
New and engaging activities to come and be developed
This variety keeps your lessons fresh, your students engaged, and your planning lighter. No more scrambling for last-minute sub plans or rushing to make worksheets at midnight. You always have something valuable ready to go.
3. It supports all major science strands
Teachers rarely teach just one domain. Over the course of a school year, most educators rotate through several topics. That’s why subscriptions include resources across the full spectrum of science:
Every month feels like a mini PD course + resource bundle wrapped together - and tailored specifically for science teachers.
4. It provides stability, inspiration, and creativity
A subscription means you never hit a creative block. Each month brings new ideas, new formats, new stories, and new teaching opportunities. It keeps your lessons exciting for both you and your students.
The resources aren’t filler - they are polished, classroom-tested materials designed to help students think deeply, reason scientifically, and enjoy learning.
Why the Subscription Is Tremendous Value: 50%+ Savings Every Month
One of the things I’m most proud of is that each subscription delivers over 50% in savings every single month. You’re receiving five full teaching resources, often worth:
$15–$20 (even to $25 and beyond) each individually
which would usually cost $180–$240 per year, but instead you pay $96 for the whole year and 60 targeted resources!
…but through the subscription, you get them for half the total value or even less.
This means teachers can stretch their budget further, get more variety, and enjoy high-quality teaching tools without worrying about price every time they want something new.
For teachers using school budgets, it’s a perfect way to guarantee a steady supply of materials. For teachers using personal funds, it’s a way to access premium content without the premium price.
Why I’m So Proud of This Subscription Service
1. I finally get to share my entire resource world with you
I have created well over a thousand science resources / bundles, and I’m still building more every month. Having a subscription service means I can share more of these materials than ever before - resources that otherwise might go unseen by teachers who don’t browse every corner of my catalogue.
2. My resource quality is always improving
Every year I improve my writing, visuals, structure, digital design, and scaffolding. That means the longer teachers stay subscribed, the better the materials they receive will be.
Subscriptions grow stronger with time - not weaker.
3. It lets teachers feel supported, not overwhelmed
Teachers already carry so much. This subscription is my way of saying: “You don’t have to do it alone. I’ve got you.”
It gives teachers flexibility, structure, and creativity without adding to their workload.
4. It builds a community fueled by curiosity and science literacy
By supporting science teachers, I’m supporting students and that’s something I’m incredibly passionate about. Science is a subject of wonder, discovery, and logic. Helping teachers deliver that spark is one of the great joys of what I do.
Why This Subscription Keeps Getting Better Over Time
More resources added every month
New formats introduced each year
Expanding topics based on teacher requests
Seasonal and themed resources included
Updated materials as science evolves
Special subscriber bonus items planned for the future
As my creative library grows, your subscription value grows with it.
Final Thoughts: Why I’m So Excited
Creating this subscription service has been one of the most meaningful steps in my work as a science educator. It reflects everything I believe about science teaching:
that it should be accessible
that it should be inspiring
that teachers deserve support
that students deserve curiosity-driven lessons
and that resources should make your life easier - not harder
With hundreds upon hundreds of resources already created (and hundreds more still coming), this subscription allows me to share my best work with you - monthly, consistently, and at a price that truly honors your budget.
If you’re a science teacher looking for creativity, structure, value, and excitement in your classroom, I would love to welcome you into this growing community.
Your lessons get better. Your planning gets lighter. Your budget stretches further. And your students experience science in a powerful, meaningful way.
That’s why I’m so excited - and why I can’t wait for you to join.
Thanks for reading
Cheers and stay curious
