A homeschooling mother has gone viral after sharing her children’s hands-on science experiment. The clip, posted to Instagram by Jessica Berúmen Moran (@jessicaberumenmoran), has now reached 304,000 views.

Jessica explained that her daughters are naturally curious, often collecting safe samples such as bugs or everyday materials to study under their microscope. In this video, her eldest picked a scab and asked her sister to place a blood sample on a slide. Their excitement was captured as they examined the sample, believing they might see blood cells.

Jessica clarified that the shapes were actually air bubbles, noting that their children’s microscope doesn’t magnify enough to reveal cells. She added, “I love homeschooling because it encourages hands-on learning—it hits so differently.”

Just a regular day at home with my kids. I a homeschooling mom and my girls are all so curious. They’re always collecting real samples — bugs, blood, anything they can safely examine — just to study, explore, and understand the world around them.

My oldest daughter decided to pick her scab and asked her sister (my second born) to collect a blood sample and place it on a slide to see under their microscope. You can see their excitement when I decided to capture what they were showing me on video.

FYI those are NOT blood cells, they are air bubbles and I have explained that to the girls. Their microscope is for kids and wont magnify enough to see cells.

I love homeschooling because it encourages hands-on learning hits so different.
