Physical Science
Hello, and welcome to ELO! This is a place to look every day you are learning at home to find activities and fun things to try. Home school may be new to you, so it is okay to take things slowly to begin. It is different than being at school with other students...it probably will not take as long for you to finish your work! Be sure to take some breaks and get up and move around. Try to go outside for at least 20 minutes each day if you can.
