Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Do you dig science experiments and STEM challenges? This self-paced class lets learners dive into fun challenges while flexing those brain muscles. Get ready for an adventure-packed journey as you explore, problem-solve, and have a blast along the way!

How does this work? 
This class is a self-paced class, so there are no live meetings. Instead, you will receive 8 pre-recorded lessons that walk learners through 8 STEM or Science activities.  Learners will then have the opportunity to complete each activity on their own time and report their findings back to the class in the classroom page. Learners will share pictures of their experiment or STEM challenge, as well as the data they collected during the experiments.
