Science Reports

I asked the girls to pick a disease they wanted to learn more about. Both girls chose very interesting diseases to research: leprosy and malaria. They both made very interesting, informative presentations.

My little 2nd grader did a wonderful job on her report on Malaria. We all learned a lot about this disease. Some of the questions about the diseases they had to answer were: what is it?, how is it spread?, what is the prevention?, what are the symptoms?, is there a treatment?, is it fatal? where is it most commonly found?, etc. If it looks like they made their presentations in their nightclothes, it's because they made their presentations in their nightclothes! The advantages of home schooling are just endless!
