The Highlights

You are not alone – a look at our failed yeast experiment!

What to do:

Don’t sweat it.
Perform an AFER – short for the anatomy of a failed experiment.
Remember than a failed experiment doesn’t mean a failed learning experience.

The Surprise – A whole lot of experiment help in our brand new book!!

The Homeschooler’s Guide to Experiments

In The Homeschooler’s Guide to Experiments we will chat about the following:

What experiments really are.
Why we need to include the hands-on aspect of science as a part of our homeschooling plans.
How to handle hands-on science in the lab and in nature.
And a whole host of topics that will make doing experiments in your home much, much easier.

You can read the book as a whole or skip to the chapters you need to read at a particular moment. Either way, this book is your chance to pick my brain about how homeschoolers can do experiments in their kitchens, backyards, and sometimes even in their bathrooms!
