Homeschool Science

Homeschool science is what I wanted to write about today. My daughter loves science. She would never do any other course if I didn’t make her move on and study such things as language arts or math. We went to a library book sale not long ago, and do you know what she purchased? Yes, science text books. She wanted a chemistry and a physics text book.
That is what she bough the year before also. So my sixth grader has a growing collection of science text books on the high school level or higher.
What does she do with these books? She reads them…for fun. Don’t get me wrong, I love science, I find it fascinating, I have even studied it at the college level. But my daughter is eleven. I hope that this interest and fascination at a young age will lead to a career in a scientific field in her future.
Our core curriculum has science included in it. However, my daughter would like more, more, more science. Fortunately, the internet is a great source of science videos, and science information. There are even games that she has found online that allow her to apply physics concepts. She even found a game where she balances size of planets with gravitational pulls to build her own solar systems.
If your child is interested in science, foster this and like the unschooling parent, be a facilitator. Make sure that your child knows how to search for and enjoy various science web sites.
