About the Author
Christina Herkert Schul has a Masters in education and was a classroom teacher for 11 years before choosing to stay home once her daughter was born. She lives in southwest Ohio with her husband, two inquisitive children, and plenty of space for them to go and explore nature. As a busy homeschooling mom she enjoys learning alongside her kids each day. It's not unusual to find the kitchen table full of crafts and engineering projects, and the living room full of books and terrariums of toads & insects the kids are studying. You can find her on her blog, There's Just One Mommy, where she enjoys sharing STEM and other hands-on learning activities, as well as craft ideas, with parents and teachers around the world.
