Or perhaps there's another place I can ask them? Or maybe it's already scheduled and I'm not seeing it? It could be all of those.

I am offering a year 9 science course in my home this year and have 6 students. We are using Microbe Hunters, Periodic Kingdom, some of Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry, First Studies of Plant Life, Longitude.
I already included Fearfully and wonderfully Made by Dr. Brand before I saw this recommendation by Gillen, and since none of my students have done Chemical History of a Candle, we are doing that also.
There are other minor books that I will be using to expand on some ideas and have started my class with a TedTalk.
If it is helpful, I could offer commentary on some or all of this if you wish.
