Welcome to our Exploring the Wonders of Science elementary science class, where curiosity meets creativity! Our mission is to make science come alive through inclusive, fun, and engaging hands-on projects and experiments. We'll show your child how science is all around us. Our teachers are passionate about science and are dedicated to making learning fun. They'll encourage questions, facilitate discussions, and provide clear explanations to ensure every student understands the concepts. The heart of this class is the hands-on experimentation and projects. We believe that science is for everyone, so our class welcomes learners of all backgrounds, abilities, and learning styles. Each week is a new topic and the topics do not build on each other. You can choose to stay the whole year of science or drop in for the weeks that interest you and your learner.
