In this episode of "Ten Minutes to a Better Homeschool," guest host Dawn Garrett introduces an insightful excerpt from the Navigating High School Course. This excerpt features an interview with Dr. Kristin Moon, founder of kristenmoonscience.com, a former scientist who homeschools her children and shares with homeschool families her passion for teaching high school science. 

Dr. Moon discusses the importance of hands-on experiences in learning and she offers practical tips for parents who are considering teaching lab sciences to their high schoolers. Listeners will gain valuable information and resources for providing a quality science education at home, making this episode an essential listen for homeschooling parents seeking guidance on science education.

Key Takeaways:

  • Lab sciences in high school provide a hands-on experience that helps students connect abstract concepts to real-world applications, making the material more understandable and memorable.
  • Lab sciences also foster resilience, problem-solving skills, a sense of wonder, and the ability to handle experiments that don't work as expected.
  • While outsourcing lab sciences to science educators is an option, there are also online resources and self-paced courses available for parents who choose to teach lab sciences at home.
  • Dr. Kristin Moon offers self-paced high school biology and chemistry courses, designed to work with various science textbooks, providing resources and materials for conducting experiments at home.
  • Parents can find Dr. Kristin Moon at Kristin Moon Science on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and can access her curriculum and valuable science teaching resources on her website at kristinmoonscience.com.
