Homeschoolers are utilizing state-of-the-art lab facilities at Northern Virginia Community College’s Woodbridge Campus to meet high school chemistry curriculum requirements.
For the first time, seven students from Prince William County recently supplemented their normal self-paced homeschooled environment to study and perform chemical reaction experiments in a college setting. NOVA student Marguerite Crozier initiated the idea after speaking with her chemistry instructor Edward Zuniga for possible solutions to how she could effectively meet the science requirements for her daughter and other homeschoolers within the area.
“Although we can do a lot of experiments in our own homes, it was so neat for the students to work in a real science lab,” Crozier said. “They were able to use different methods of technology and lab materials such as beakers, thermometers, spring scales, electrical meters and hot plates. Being in this type of environment on a college campus was very exciting for them.”
