Labs 4 Home is a service that provides the hands-on lab experience necessary to learn science in the San
    Diego county area. These lab classes give the student the chance to work with science equipment and other
    students with the supervision and direction of an experienced instructor.

    The goal of Labs 4 Home is to provide the student with a friendly, non-threatening, non-intimidating
    environment where experiments and activities necessary to learn science can be performed. It is also a goal
    of Labs 4 Home to give the student a positive experience with the subject of science and to support and
    encourage the student for their future.

    Science is based on gaining knowledge from observation and experimentation which many people in history
    have contributed to. What better way to study science then to actively observe and experiment with science?
    Home school students do not always have the opportunity to have a lab to participate in this learning
    process, so the services of Labs 4 Home can help you in this area. Students have a fun time during the labs
    and find that science is actually interesting. Maybe there will be some future doctors or engineers!
    All of the lab classes are taught by Greg Beers. He has many years of
    teaching science to the home school community as well as some private and
    charter schools. With college degrees in biology and chemistry, he continually
    educates himself in the areas of science, math, and many other areas of
    interest. Greg started teaching home school students while he was in
    college. It started, oddly enough, as a hobby and with the help of the
    principal of an ISP group in San Diego, Greg taught a biology lab for many of
    their students, for one year which led into teaching a following year of
    biology and chemistry. From there it spread to the North County area,
    included more science subjects, and grew from a hobby to a full-time career!
    Greg continues to learn about science, creative ways to explain science and
    still loves working with young people, inspiring them to be their best.

    Science has been through many periods of development over human existence. There are also many
    controversial issues directly related to science debated in our society. Our own human existence and
    development has been a source of controversy and debate. Evolution versus Creation. To many this may not
    seem like a big issue, but it has a direct impact on how we learn science, consequences in our culture and
    how we view life.

    The main focus of a science lab is to learn some basic lab techniques through hands on activities to observe,
    experiment and develop critical thinking skills necessary to make decisions in our lives. A philosophy is a way
    to observe the principles of the attributes of what we see and experience. This is always propagated through
    personal beliefs based on experience or thought. Science projects itself to observe, experiment and come to
    some kind of conclusion without bias. This is not possible for those that explore science, as we all have our
    own preconceived beliefs and ideas. Labs 4 Home emphasises the importance of focusing on science, which is
    defined as knowledge, by first hand experience, through observation and experimentation without any
    "outside" influence so that the student can develop the critical thinking skills necessary to form their own
    beliefs. There are many theories and personal viewpoints in science, and it is important to distinguish the
    difference between these theories and fact. To fully understand and communicate with other people, it is
    important that we show respect for each other, despite the philosophical differences. Even though most of
    the families taught through Labs 4 Home have the same philosophical beliefs, the main purpose, as stated
    above, is to present the students with the tools to explore the world we live in, and to develop mature,
    critical thinking skills to be effective in the world.
