Homeschool Science


This is a photo of Cherub 1 doing another experiment from his Apologia Physical Science course. This course, by the way, is his MOST FAVORITE subject. (He is REALLY "into" science this year !!)
While working on this lab, he was outside in the driveway, as you can see. (afterwards, I found out that this was REALLY because there was a possibility that the glass jar may break in this experiment - GOOD THINKING CHERUB 1 !!).
And when I went out to check on him, I curiously asked why he was also doing the Follow-Up Readings, note taking, and his "final" Lab Report while laying on the hard concrete driveway ? To this he replied (with a HUGE mischievious smile), "THIS is the beauty of homeschooling - I get to work on school AND be outside at the same time !" HA !
Today, by the way, is absolutely delightful - there is a light breeze, moisture in the air from yesterday's rain, and only in the low 80's ... SPECTACULAR WEATHER TODAY !!
Back to the topic ... This GREAT science course (and several others) is by Apologia Educational Ministries ( http://www.apologia.com/ ), and can be seen here: https://apologia.securesites.net/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3
