Kathy Ceceri is a teacher, writer, homeschooling mom, and artist who blogged about lab activities she and her two sons did during a year of homeschool biology.
While I have always had an interest in science as a hobby, I’ve been more intently following what resources are available to parents interested in providing a quality science education for their children. The end of last school year, I took the idea a little further to encompass all of my son’s education and started considering what it might be like to homeschool. At this point, I’m still thinking about homeschooling–actually I’ve already registered (and paid) for a homeschool AP Biology class with a 12:1 ratio, withdrawn my son from public school, and sent off for curriculum for an online homeschool that UPS says is set to arrive on Monday. I guess I’d have to say that I’m now leaning pretty strongly toward homeschooling. So when I see blogs like Kathy’s and meet homeschooling children (who make me feel like an uneducated underachiever by the way) I think that there has got to be something to this homeschooling. What I’ve found is, the resources are definitely out there to provide your child with a stellar home environment education– Kathy’s blog and list of resources is a good jumping off point. But you don’t have to be a homeschooler, or even a parent of one, to enjoy some of the science activities that Kathy and her sons did at home–just an enthusiast with some time on your hands.
Here are some of Kathy’s other blog sites:
