This elementary body systems class will focus on how organs work together (skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems) to keep the body functioning.The class will be highly hands-on with fun and messy labs to encourage your science kiddo.
Students will incorporate drawings of each body system, create models, and perform fun hands-on labs. The goal is for students to enjoy learning about their bones, heart, lungs, and brain in a fun, engaging way.

Platform: Google Classroom
Google Classroom will house all of the video lessons, the Zoom link, human anatomy visuals, worksheets (with keys), crossword puzzles, lab instructions, and more. A parent or student gmail will be needed to access Google Classroom. At this age the work in Google Classroom will be optional. Depending on the age of the student, most students can work in Google Classroom independently, with little to no parent help. But most parents use the additional worksheets in Google Classroom to continue the learning experience at home as supplemental material. Many parents print out the worksheets and use it for additional family style instructions or for later in the year. This course will last for one semester, but families will have access to the material in Google Classroom for a full year.
Method: Hybrid-Live Group Zooms, Teacher Videos, & Self Paced Assignments That The Parent Can Use At Home
Length: Full Semester (August-December 2026)
The group will meet for live group Zooms for a short lesson and then a lab. The goal of the group Zoom will be to encourage science enthusiam and for students to learn how to perform labs at home. The parent can sit closeby or out of the view of the Zoom to help the student with labs, if needed.
Please register each child, if you need a sibling discount please email sciencewithcollins@gmail.com

Alternate Days Will Feature A Video Lesson
-This class will feature a hybrid learning system allowing some weeks where we meet for live Zoom instruction, and some weeks where the student will have a step-by-step video lesson. This allows less commitment to weekly Zooms, and gives families more flexibility to attend local homeschool events some weeks.
Holidays: September 7 (Labor Day), October 12 (Columbus Day)
August 17 Is An Optional Open House/Practice Day:Getting Use To Zoom, Finding Google Classroom
