Science for everyone is a little different. Some boys take science classes at our homeschool coop. Some are going to dive deep into the world of biomedical engineering as we get into our challenge for First Lego League. We also do a lot of nature study and do units from time to time on different topics. I have been very influenced by Teresa Bondora and her site, How to Teach Science.
