We are in the midst of beginning to organize our
science classes for next year. If you have not contacted us, please do
so shortly. Deadline for Cathy's classes--Aug. 8th!
Two retired homeschooling moms are offering science classes. If you are interested, please contact the mom who is teaching that particular class directly.
Cathy Barfield is a mom of three married daughters and three grandsons. Cathy has a degree in Biology. She taught for three years in South Africa and has offered some kind of science class to homeschoolers yearly since 1998.
Cathy Barfield will offer probably offer TWO of the following classes based on the numbers interested in taking it:
Physical Science (designed for 8th grade)
No prerequisite but the class does introduce some simple Algebra regarding the rearranging of formulas.
Textbook is Apologia’s second edition of Exploring Creation With Physical Science. There is a one-time lab fee of $35 and a monthly class fee of $40. The class will meet weekly for 2 hours and will include lab work. We will meet Thursday afternoon from 12:30-2:30 pm. at the Barfield home. The start date is Thursday, September 8th.

If interested in Physical Science, Biology or Advanced Biology please contact Cathy Barfield at 785-843-9207 or by email: cathy.m.barfield@gmail.com.
Robin Brooks is a 'retired' home school mom who has enjoyed teaching a number of science classes over the years, including general science(6-8) and Biology, Chemistry and Physics. She has 6 children and 7 grandchildren. Robin started out as a Biology major in college, but ended up getting a teaching credential in Music. She especially enjoys teaching science because she finds it a great way to show students the wonderful complexities of the world that God created and how that displays the power and glory of God.
