Finishing Strong is the place for families who are homeschooling middle & high school kids to meet up in order to share tips, encouragement, advice, and more. We know it can be stressful homeschooling teens, which is why we’ve built this community.
Finishing Strong is hosted each Wednesday here at EvaVarga along with my friends – Heather from Blog She Wrote, Megan and Susan from Education Possible, and Heidi from Starts at Eight.
Featured this week is German chemist Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen who was born on March 31st. He is best know for engineering a burner with a hot, sootless, non-luminous flame by mixing the gas with air in a controlled fashion before combustion. Bunsen burners are now used in laboratories all around the world.

We hope you’ll take some time to check out the amazing posts that have been shared with us. We are so thankful to all of our readers and contributors who help make Finishing Strong a key resource for everyone homeschooling through the middle & high school years.
The most clicked on post shared last week was Heidi’s How I Teach Homeschool Math at Starts at Eight.
Earning Credits with a Project Based High School, shared by Heather from Blog She Wrote was one of my favorite this past week. “Often as our children get older, we think their time is better spent doing more traditional academic work. Fight the urge to regard project time as less important!“

My son has dabbled a little with robotics through his experience with FIRST Lego League earlier this year. It is a fascinating subject area that can be integrated into many content areas. I’ve thereby selected Marci’s post, Robotics in Your Homeschool as another favorite shared this past week.
I would also like to highlight Writing & Rhetoric Curriculum Review posted at Freely Learned. I was previously unfamiliar with this curriculum and am intrigued to learn more.
As always, thank you for helping us to make Finishing Strong a key resource for families who are homeschooling through the middle & high school years.
