In this ongoing class, students will be introduced to a new science concept or theme each week. Some examples of topics covered are: density, solubility, magnetism, conductivity, etc... They will learn and practice using scientific vocabulary. We will conduct several experiments each week using simple materials that can be found at home. The students will participate in group activities to reinforce the concept of the week (discussions, trivia games, matching, comparing with Venn diagrams, etc...) 

Here is the breakdown of the weeks:

Week of September 1: Wacky Weather Part 2

No prior knowledge about any of the science concepts is required in order to participate in this class. As this is an ongoing class, students may join at any time. The concepts are not cumulative and can each be learned separately.

I look forward to teaching your children!
