I Love Homeschooling, But I Hate Teaching Science – HIRL Episode112

39 minutes

Most of us have at least one subject we don’t love to teach, and that’s a tricky thing to reconcile when we’re in charge of all the subjects.

So what’s a homeschooler to do when there are core subjects that must be covered but mom or dad either aren’t motivated to get that subject done every week or they feel unqualified to teach it? On this episode of HomeschoolingIRL, we’ll discuss what it looks like to homeschool science when you don’t love the sciences.

We hope to free you up in the elementary years, equip you for middle school, and introduce you to all the options for high school science.
