You know when your child wants to do a science experiment and then go to gather your supplies and you realize you’re out of the one ingredient that is central to your experiment.
You toss the book over the couch and cringe as your child looks at you with disappointing eyes and you feel like a homeschool mom failure because you should have had this.
That’s right, if you had all of the science tools and supplies ahead of time, imagine how easy it would be to finish a new science project each week.
