Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to the SHEAF Blog.

Despite our best intentions, we're not great at keeping this blog updated with our latest happenings. We are, however, definitely an active group, meeting at least once each week during term time.

If you'd like to make contact with Dunedin home educators, our contact details are in the column, below right.

We send out a weekly email newsletter with details of upcoming events, courses, gatherings etc.

You can also find us on Facebook (page is visible whether you're a facebook user or not)

Have a look through this blog to see the types of events we have organised in the past. You'll also find links to other blogs and articles that we find useful or informative, on the off-chance that you'll appreciate them too :~) (Look for these more general blog-posts under the label "Weekend Reading")

If you're not currently on our email list and would like to contact us, please email us at the address you can see in the column on the right. We'd love to hear from you!

Chemistry for Families course for home educators

We are running two chemistry courses for home educating families at Otago University on 11 and 12 February 2010.

Each course runs for two 3-hour sessions on these two days (either two mornings or two afternoons). The focus is on practical work and using equipment and chemicals in the laboratory.

Basic Chemistry for Families
Topics covered: safety in the lab, science laboratory equipment, food testing, separation techniques, chemical reactions, preparation of gases, gas tests, acids and bases, indicators, the pH scale.
Suitable for children 11-17 years, a parent needs to attend with their child/ren.
Cost: $65 for an adult attending with one child, $110 for an adult attending with two children (the third child from the same family can attend for free).

Courses are run by Nathalie Thomas, a fully qualified science teacher (and home educating mum) with a degree in chemistry. If you would like more information or a booking form, please email us: info@science-for-home-educators.co.nz.

Best regards,
Nathalie Thomas, MSc, DipT
