Homeschool 2019-2020 Schedule
Have your junior scientist join us to discover the scientific method! Using STEM process skills, students will explore each step through hands-on activities, observing live animals and their habitats, and ultimately developing and conducting their own original research project at the end of the school year. Class lessons are adapted to meet the appropriate TEKS and developmental needs of children at their specific K-8 learning levels.
Are all questions equal? This month, students will practice their STEM process skills and build the foundation of the scientific method by learning how to form testable questions.
Take a bow! In this final lesson, students will show off all their hard work and scientific method expertise by presenting their research projects to their peers and special guest scientists.
