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.

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.
CHEMISTRY: High school chemistry class using the Apologia's 2nd edition, Exploring Creation With Chemistry. The class will meet weekly for 2 hours and will include lab work. The class starts right after Labor Day and will meet Wednesdays from 1:00-3:00 pm. There is a one-time lab fee of $35 and a monthly cost of $40. Class size limited to 6 students.
If interested in Chemistry or Physics, please contact Robin Brooks, 785-865-8044 or email me at burtchettrm@juno.com.
