New Science Lessons

Posted by Christine Alcott Aug 2, 2007

I am the first to admit that science is not my best subject. Chemistry, in particular, stumped me as a teenager. It took a lot of hoping, praying, and luck just to pass the class, in addition to a great deal of hard work. Since then, I have just assumed that chemistry, and science in general, is not for me.

Until, that is, I became a homeschooling mom. I knew then that I had to find a way to teach my children this crucial subject. Since the day I stumbled across the website, I have thanked my lucky stars for Teresa Bondora and her How to Teach Science site. Through a series of "workshops" done in free newsletter form, Teresa, a science-teacher-turned-homeschool-mom, helped me to understand science as I have never seen it before. If only I had been taught this way as a child, my whole experience of science would be a different story.

Teresa is now offering a new set of lessons on the elements of the periodic table. Please see her site for her passionate reasoning towards exposing our children to the periodic table from preschool on. (I now have a table of elements hanging in our schoolroom thanks to her!) These lessons are intended for all ages, and will arrive in a newsletter twice a month. Each lesson focuses on one element, including facts, history, jokes, links, info for parents, and information for advanced learners.

Best of all - these qulaity lessons from an excellent teacher are FREE!
