Science Super Pack: Terms 1-2

Purchase 32 weeks of classes (a full year) for only $10/session! This includes:
 
It's NOT an Okapi, It's a Gnu! (6 weeks)
When you go to clean your room, you probably get everything out and put like items together in the same space: all my socks go here, all my books go here, and so on. Zoologists do the same thing, but they break it down into even smaller pieces: all my red socks go here, all my toeless socks go here (just kidding!), and so on. While they sort, they find some pretty wild types of animals with strange characteristics: glowing turtles, fish without eyes, fish with legs, transparent frogs. Join us as we explore the wildlife of the world and learn how scientists organize and classification animal species. We’ll learn about the Latin binomial system of naming animals and how dichotomous keys are read and made. It will be a safari adventure! 
 
All About Me and My Amazing Body (6 weeks)
What fun we will have as we discover how our bones, heart, lungs, muscles and various parts work together to make us strong and healthy. We will engage in hands-on experiments and activities during class as we explore the respiratory system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, the nervous system. Be ready for action and lots of adventure as we learn about our amazing bodies together!
 
Eggs-perimental Science (4 weeks)
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and took a great fall, but all the king's horses and all the king’s men wouldn’t have had to put him together again if he’d bounced like a ball. What?! Did you know your egg can bounce like a ball if you soak it in vinegar? In this most eggcellent class, we will be using eggs and fun eggs-periments to learn a bit about physics, biology, and chemistry. We’ll learn about the shape and structure of eggs, the composition of eggs, and the importance of eggs in life! 
 
Is the Lion Truly King of the Jungle? (7 weeks)
Join us as we learn about the kingdoms of animals! What's the biological difference between the one-humped Dromedary and two-humped Bactrian? Scientists everywhere categorize living organisms to better understand life. In this biology class, we will be learning about the 6 Kingdoms of life including the following: eubacteria, fungi, plants, animals, archaebacteria, and protists. Learn how to identify the genus and species of your favorite animals, create dichotomous keys, and expand your scientific knowledge of the world around you!
 
Hands-On Ultimate Science (but don’t blow up the house!) (5 weeks)
This is our grand finale! The final part of our learning about the Scientific Method. In this class, we will put into practice what we’ve learned about the steps to the Scientific Method and how to read and record data and students will develop their own experiment. We will also practice reading and studying past experiments (which is often put into big science examinations as children get older—like the ACT, SAT, PRAXIS, etc).
