How is it going? When beta testing this question has a new twist. Some things work exactly like you expect and others … Well some modifications need to be made. Developing a home school curriculum is more than just a text – it includes experiments modified for the environment, teacher notes (as the teacher may not have a strong science background) and the typical problems and assignments for the students. It also requires a bit more consideration as to how a student learns as the learning environment will be unique and will not follow a standard preconceived formation. This paper embarks on a journey to show what has worked and what did not work out as planned during this 2007-2008 beta testing year.
