These tools help your child feel more confident in her first efforts to be a writer. Shanda has worked with young children for 30 years and has a large repertoire of fun ways to playfully learn early literacy skills.

After learning how animals adapt to their habitat through specialized feet, fur and feathers, students gain hands-on experience with real claw and tooth replicas! Activities about classification, camouflage, and life cycles round out this introduction to zoology. Ready to step into their shoes? Students will create their own animal track casts to take home!

Exploring Ecosystems

Fundamental Forces Time to find out what forces make the universe tick! Hands-on investigation leads students to learn about gravity, inertia, and centripetal force. Students use a bike wheel gyroscope, a coin-spinning vortex and the amazing balloon centrifuge. Hold on tight!

Let’s explore the fascinating world around us! While learning about the interconnections that exist between all living things – including humans! – this class provides an opportunity to develop scientific skills through inquiry based instructional methods. Young ecologists build an Eco-Cube and receive a take-home journal so they can continue the ecology adventure at home!
