Junior scientists make discoveries that enhance their understanding of the world, usually in a different area of science each day. While topics vary, expect exciting classroom experiments.
This exploration features “big questions”: the height of a tree, the distance to the Sun, the length of a dinosaur, and how big a million really is. Improve skills in measurement, counting and place value, as well as “big ideas.”
An introduction to basic chemistry concepts, strengthening students’ observing, experimenting, and predicting skills through simple experiments with safe, familiar foods and substances. (Students with allergies please call the office.)
Explore the fascinating world of insects and other arthropods we humans call "bugs". Expect close encounters with our tiny planet-mates, plus lots of outdoor activities, and maybe a field trip or an expert visitor.
An exciting investigation of color, including such curiosities as blue sky and rainbow bubbles. Explorations of light and pigment lead to greater understanding of how red, blue and yellow create the thousands of colors we can see.
