Overview
This Science class will encompass a variety of topics that will help prepare students for high school science. A few of the exciting topics that will be covered are Chemistry, Physics, Life Science. Within a variety of modules students will have the opportunity to explore Newton's Laws and simple machines. They will look at the structure of cells and DNA strands. Explore zoology and marine science. Within units of study there will be experiments out of the text to be done in class, or at home. There will also be some experiments that take learners outside of the box and challenge their thinking.
There will be some quizzes to help students prepare for high school, however they will be in moderation. I feel that the best way to learn Science is to explore Science.
Homework
Weekly homework will be assigned and required to be completed to be successful in this class. You should allow for approximately 30 minutes on each homeschool day (M,W,F). I will not be collecting homework, however students will be reviewing homework with each other, as well as any lab experiments that are assigned as homework.
