Science Exploration
Course Options Available: Elementary Science Exploration, Middle School Exploration
This course was created to engage inquiry based learners to help show their potential using project based learning techniques. The course will feature mini units/labs over Forensics, Life Science, Earth Science, Anatomy, and Environmental Science so students can experience several types of science.
This course will be offered using a flex format or live option.
Parents can use the lessons to teach from at home (best for younger elementary students), or assign the student to work independently. Each week will come with mini video lessons, Youtube summary videos, science sketches to draw at home, and fun labs to try at home.
