Science Classes K-12
Our Elementary Science program is designed specifically for younger elementary-aged young scientists; students will learn that curiosity and wonder are excellent tools as they discover the world around them. The text and the activities are all intended to help the least scientific-minded student to realize that studying science can be fun. At the same time, students who already love science and explore its many wonders will learn and be challenged to continue the adventure they have already begun.
The teacher will encourage students in Science Exploration to delve more deeply into science as part of their everyday lives. During and outside of class time, students can explore “hands-on” experiments, ask questions, and develop responses based on reasoning in a fun and interactive online learning environment.
