Awesome video

I find it challenging to speak extemporaneously about science. Thank you for modeling this for us!

[@Hot_Springs_Homeschool]

And just to clarify…I’m referring to how well you speak about science in this video and throughout this series. (I’m not referring to the word amphibian tripping up your tongue. Those things happen to all of us!) Thank you so much for your videos! I really appreciate you taking the time to make them.

😂 I didn’t even remember tripping up on any words, so I watched it again and thought “oh, yeah, that was a tough video” 😂 Thank you so much for your kind comments, they mean the world to me.
