Why the Merge Cube Is the Ultimate Science Tool for Homeschool Families

Teaching science at home can be one of the most exciting parts of homeschooling—but also one of the trickiest. You want your learners to experience hands-on discovery, but let’s face it: most homeschool setups don’t come with a lab bench, a high-powered microscope, or a cabinet full of rock samples or animal skulls. That’s where the Merge Cube comes in.

The Merge Cube is a science lab, simulation center, and visual library that fits in the palm of your hand. And it’s designed for exactly the kind of flexible, creative learning that homeschooling is all about.

Hands-On Science, Made Easy

With Merge EDU and the Merge Cube, your learners can explore real scientific concepts in a hands-on way—no chemicals, dissecting tools, or mess required. Want to examine the human heart? Rotate it in 3D, watch it beat, and explore its chambers from all angles. Studying the water cycle? See condensation, precipitation, and runoff happen before your eyes.

Everything in Merge EDU is interactive and visual. Students don’t just read about states of matter or the water cycle—they hold it, manipulate it, and ask genuine questions that they seek out answers for.

Unlocking 21st-Century Skills with AR in Science Education
The study’s findings clearly indicate that incorporating AR into science education through embodied learning can substantially enhance student engagement, understanding, and collaboration.

A Perfect Fit for Any Homeschool Approach

Whether you’re using a structured curriculum or crafting your own unit studies, the Merge Cube fits right in. Merge Explorer includes over 100 interactive science simulations that align with national and state science standards. Merge Object Viewer gives you access to more than 1,000 digital teaching aids—from fossils to fungi to frogs and so much more. Merge HoloGlobe provides satellite data for Earth’s systems overlaid on a Merge Cube. And Merge Creator makes it easy for students to create and label their own 3D objects.

You can match these tools to topics in your favorite homeschool programs, including:

  • Apologia
  • The Good and the Beautiful
  • Berean Builders
  • Real Science Odyssey
  • Blossom & Root, and many more.

No matter your philosophy—Charlotte Mason, Classical, Eclectic, Montessori or Unschooling—the Merge Cube gives your child the ability to explore science, in addition to reading about it.

Learning That Sticks

Science concepts stick better when kids can see them in action. The Merge Cube brings abstract ideas down to earth, making even tricky topics feel approachable and fun. Whether your learner is a visual thinker, a hands-on doer, or a future inventor who likes to tinker, the Merge Cube meets them where they are.

And because it works with devices you already own—iPads, tablets, Chromebooks, or smartphones—it’s easy to integrate into your daily routine. You can even screen record videos of your child explaining what they’re seeing, turning each session into a science presentation or portfolio piece.

How Merge EDU Brings Hands-On Science and STEM Learning Home
Whether you’re a first-year homeschooling parent or a seasoned pro looking for something new, Merge EDU makes science and STEM hands-on, engaging, and fun—without sacrificing academic rigor.

Take Science Learning Anywhere

The Merge Cube is small enough to travel with you. Bring it to the park, the kitchen table, or a co-op group. You don’t need a science lab—you just need your device and a little curiosity.

With offline access to select activities and downloadable content, Merge EDU can even support families who are learning on the go or without constant Wi-Fi access. It’s science education made simple, portable, and exciting.

One Cube, a Full Year of Science

Instead of buying separate kits for every unit, invest in a tool that supports all your science goals—life science, Earth science, physical science, and beyond. 

And thanks to the durability and reusability of the Merge Cube, it will last through multiple grades, subjects, and students.
