Teaching Chemistry at Home
Last month, I shared about how to teach my least favorite area of science – physics. This month, I get to share about my favorite scientific discipline – chemistry!!
I had several teachers along the way who really instilled a passion for chemistry deep into my heart. And my goal has been to do the same for my children.
Teaching Physics at Home
My least favorite science discipline was physics in high school. To me it was a bunch of formulas and dry, boring facts, at least that was my high school experience.
But one of the great things about homeschooling is that we get to explore subjects again. As we teach our children, we get to learn the things we missed and enjoy the subjects we were bored by in high school.
Can I really teach homeschool science through high school?
With each passing homeschool year, we are getting closer and closer to high school. In fact, as I was planning out this next year it hit me - we have only got two more years before we reach high school.
There can be a lot of pressure in that realization. It feels like all of the sudden homeschool is going to really count. And with that feeling, a fear sets in, one that says if I don't get it right, my kids will be ruined for life.
