Homeschooling High School: Science

Have you been reading the fabulous series about homeschooling through high school over at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers?  Kris' series is a must-read for home educators who have children of any age.  Today is Day 6 of her series and I'm guest posting about teaching high school level science courses.  Kris has covered a wide range of topics in this series including:

• Homeschooling High School:  Introduction  
• Homeschooling High School:  Figuring Out Coursework
• Homeschooling High School:  Determining Credits
• Homeschooling High School:  Credits
• Homeschooling High School:  Is Nature Study Relevant to High School Science?
• Homeschooling High School:  Science.
