In The Hands Of A Child: Wild Weather

Note: Since writing this post In The Hands of a Child has sadly closed its doors and is no longer in business. We are heading to ‘that’ time of the year when we begin making lists of curricula that we would like to include for the next academic year. Apart from my choices in the core curriculum, I often included (when my children were younger)

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.

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

The Homeschool Garden

To help you homeschool outside this spring and summer, veteran Curriculum Choice homeschoolers have collected their suggestions about gardening, nature, nutritious eating, and more with the homeschool garden.

As the world comes alive again, what better way to teach our children about nature, food, hands-on history, and practical skills than by gardening?  Whether we do a formal study or make gardening a purely hands-on project, our children will learn with a homeschool garden.  And whether or not our children end up being gardeners, the knowledge, the work itself, and the skills will benefit

Ambleside Online: The Perfect Fit for Our Homeschool Family

A review of Ambleside Online free Charlotte Mason based homeschool curriculum. The AO website is packed with everything you need to get started.

When I began researching homeschooling options way back when, I ran across Ambleside Online and was immediately intrigued. For various reasons, I ended up selecting another curriculum to begin with; however, Christmas found me lingering on the Ambleside Online website. By the New Year, we jumped into Year 1 and haven’t looked back since. Ambleside Online (AO) is a K (Year 0) through 12 (Year

No Christian Silence on Science by Margaret Helder

Your teen is interested in science and, as a Christian parent, you worry about what an evolution-dominated university education will do to his or her faith. Many years ago, the father of a bright young girl named Margaret worried the same way, but he needn’t have. Now this Margaret, who has become Dr. Helder, is one of the most prominent women in creation science, and
