Science assessment and Plants -
I met Jeron today, and we spent some time getting to know each other. I asked him some scientific questions about his trip to Australia; explaining that science is the search for the truth, and is evident in everything we experience. We talked about science and discussed the different areas where he had a keen interest. I asked him to show me his home school computer program, which shows what science subjects he has completed and what was waiting his attention. It seemed that he had completed the physical science and Earth science sections, and had life science units left to complete. We started the plants section and he easily answered the questions about the function of plant anatomy. He demonstrated his considerable skill with his computer by making it read the questions and told me they were easy. We examined the plant anatomy section, and determined that the vocabulary was new. He admitted that the next section would require some study, but we had run out of time. I look forward to working with Jeron in the future.
