Exploring Ionic Bonding with Home Science Tools

Welcome back! Today’s post is the third and final installment of chemistry lessons I have developed for my high school students. We are exploring ionic bonding by customizing a kit from Home Science Tools. If you have ever mistakenly added salt to your iced tea, you know how similar salt and sugar appear. While these two compounds  may look the same, they obviously taste very different.

The Harvest Homeschool: Agricultural Activities for the Classroom

Apples, cucumbers, beets, kohlrabi, pumpkins, and zucchini  – these are just a few of the vegetables that come to mind when I think of the fall harvest season. I grew up in a rural area so access to farm fresh fruits and vegetables has always been relatively convenient. I recall very fondly the heat of the late summer days when my brothers and I would

Exploring Covalent Bonding with Home Science Tools

As I shared previously, I wanted to provide my high school age children with a solid foundation in chemistry to jump start the new school year. We are off to a good start (see my previous post on the nomenclature of chemical compounds) and I am delighted to share the next lesson with you today – the first of two on chemical bonding. We are exploring

Homeschool High School Health and Nutrition

Homeschool High School Health and Nutrition - I was very impressed with the table of contents and all that is included in this subject. This health and nutrition text addresses the 'whole person' with the spiritual aspect and with very practical suggestions for proper care.

My 11th grade daughter and I are excited about the homeschool high school health and nutrition text from Apologia. The two of us have never seen such a thorough and truly enjoyable textbook on this subject. I have two homeschool graduates now. I sure wish they had had this resource! Don’t miss the giveaway at the end! Homeschool High School Health and Nutrition What I

Using the 5E Lesson Model with Generation Genius

When I was teaching full time in the public school classroom, one of my favorite resources was Bill Nye the Science Guy. Periodically, I would share the videos with my students to fill in gaps or keep each of my fifth grade classes in sync with one another when classes were cancelled due to assemblies or holidays. We would occasionally talk about the experiment the

Elementary Homeschool Curriculum – Oak Meadow 5

When looking for a elementary curriculum, we wanted something that would nurture this spirit of exploration with lots of hands on projects – yet would still cover all the bases. We found this and more in Oak Meadow's Fifth Grade Curriculum Package.

When my daughter was young, she was all about exploring, making things with tons of tape and cardboard, asking lots of questions, wondering “why’s” and always eager to learn new things. So when we were looking for a elementary curriculum, we wanted something that would nurture this spirit of exploration with lots of hands on projects – yet would still cover all the bases.  We

Independent Homeschool Science Studies

This year our sixth grader asked if she could have the Apologia Exploring Creation with Botany textbook to simply study on her own. Of course! This is a perfect text to enjoy during spring and summer – independently or with multiple ages. Have you considered independent homeschool science studies in your homeschool?
