Do you have a young child interested in many branches of science?  Rather than focusing on one specific theme or area of science, we will look at many different branches and will begin to see how they relate to each other.  This class, the third level in the series, continues to cover beginning science concepts in the four areas of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Earth/Space Science. 

The main methods of learning are through PowerPoint explanations, scientific demonstrations, and science journaling.  

Schedule:
--Chemistry--
Week 1 - Air Pressure
                --Air and the Earth's atmosphere.
Week 2 - A Deeper Look at Air
                --The mixture of gases that make up air.

--Biology--
Week 3 - Food Chains and Adaptations
                --Animals are particularly adapted to eat specific types of food.
Week 4 - Adaptations and Survival
                --Plants and animals are particularly adapted to survive in particular environments.

--Physics--
Week 5 - Matter and Energy
               --The difference between matter and energy.

--Earth and Space Science--
Week 6 - Biomes
                --Weather, climate, and their effect on ecosystems.
Week 7 - Time
                --Relating time to earth's turning.
Week 8 - Seasons
                --Relating the seasons to earth's orbit around the sun.

The prerequisite for this class is Science Foundations: Level 1 and 2.
