Science: Term 1 Super Pack

 
Purchase a discounted term (16 weeks) of classes! This includes:
 
DIY Science (6 weeks)
This is the first of a small series of classes where we will learn and practice the scientific method. In this class, we will learn the history of the formation of the scientific method as well as the steps of the scientific method. On the last day of class, students will develop their own questions, hypothesis, and experiment based on their observations made on coke and mentos. It will literally be a blast!
 
Forces and Motion (4 weeks)
It's time to use the Force! There are forces all around us; they make everything happen. In this class about forces and motion, we'll be making balloon cars to learn about kinetic and potential energy; we'll learn about the conservation of energy and friction as we make paper roller coasters; we'll learn about force, mass, and acceleration; and we'll make parachutes to learn about gravity and air resistance.
 
Animal Survival: Habitats and Food Chains (6 weeks)
It’s a jungle out there. . .and animals must constantly adapt to survive the climatic conditions of the ecosystem, predators, and other species that compete for the same food and space. In this class, we will learn about the most common animal habitats and the adaptations animals have that allow them to live in their habitat. Students will make a diorama of a habitat of their choice and spotlight an animal that would survive in their habitat. Finally, we will learn about food chains and how animals acquire the energy needed to survive.
