In this 6 week class, we will perform a different science experiment each week with supplies that are budget friendly and easy to find. You may even have most of the supplies around your home. We will make observations, formulate a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, and draw a conclusion. Included in each class will be a handout to encourage learner's to write or draw out their thoughts. Topics stand alone so students can join at any time. You do not need to have prior knowledge in any science subject matter to participate. All supplies are listed but I will post supplies every week in the classroom as a reminder. There will be a weekly worksheet posted each week as well.

Supply List
Materials are usually easy to find household items. I also recommend students bring a notebook or folder with paper so they may record their findings each week! If you are ever missing any of the materials, just let me know. There are always alternatives, or you can simply watch the experiments and still enjoy the class!
