I have been homeschooling for 8 years; my children ages 13, 11, and 8 have always been  homeschooled. My children have always loved and excelled in science. I recently began to fear their love for science could change if I didn't find a different curriculum for them; as it seems the curriculum we've always used is losing its appeal. Intimidated by science but looking for answers, I went to Dr. Keller's workshop at MACHE in Duluth, MN. At first I was completely overwhelmed and felt defeated. I sat there thinking, I can't even pronounce, let alone understand much of what Dr. Keller is talking about; there is no way I can effectively teach my children what they need to know for high school or college freshman level science.  I then began to tell myself, open your mind, there is a reason God has you sitting in this workshop.  The more Dr. Keller spoke, the more I began to understand what she was saying. Her approach and her perspective really made sense to me. I really think if I had been taught Chemistry with Dr. Keller's approach and curriculum I would've had a clearer understanding of science in general. We are nowexcited about science and are no longer intimidated. I purchased RS4K Chemistry Level I and I'm using it will all three of my children -even with my 7th grader. My 7th grader uses RS4K as a supplement to her current Physical Science curriculum, which is making molecules and the Periodic Table easier to understand.  Thank you Dr. Keller, for your commitment to quality education and creating a curriculum that makes science understandable and therefore exciting. Your workshop was the highlight of my homeschooling conference!
Thank you!
