About Teresa

waterfall          In her book, Teresa, an ex-science teacher, will teach us what scientists and teachers alike already know. But with her usual laid back style and voice, does it in a way that helps us remember that we can all do science.
         The time has come for a book like this and as she writes, she will keep us posted on its completion. She posted a probable table of contents so we can take a glimpse into the future of homeschooling science.
         If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to email her, but be forewarned, anything you say can and may be used in the book!
