Labs For The Home Teacher
Home Teacher Labs
Labs for the Homeschool Plus program are those contained in the Ignitia Online Curriculum. No expensive equipment is required with only several requiring the purchase of small items or household items to conduct the experiments.
It is always advisable to be familiar with your surroundings and wear protective equipment when conducting any experiment. Never allow yourself to be distracted when completing an experiment.
