This year’s homeschool science program emphasized hands-on, inquiry-driven laboratory work—water distillation, simple circuits and electrochemistry—carried out with rigorous safety protocols and detailed lab notebooks. She completed controlled investigations into hydrogen-bearing solutions and hypochlorous formulations relevant to dermatological and pool-quality questions, recording hypotheses, methods and both qualitative and quantitative observations under close supervision. These experiences cultivated precise measurement, experimental skepticism and a practical, methodical scientific temperament that prepares her for more advanced cross-disciplinary study.
