World of Wonder (Grades K-2): This will be an intro course covering a variety of topics using games, projects, and coloring: A basic science course introducing students to a variety of topics through games, projects, and art. We will spend 2 weeks on the senses, one of touch, taste, and smell and one on sight (&light) and hearing (&sound). 1 week we’ll explore Weather and the water cycle, 1 week plants and trees, 1 week water science (sink, float, solutions) and 1 week of forces and motion Kitchen Science (Grades 3-5): exploring science through food – Using everyday kitchen staples, students will measure, make mixtures, solutions & super-saturated solutions, observe the effects of hot and cold, and explore the chemical reactions of leavening agents. We will investigate dairy by making magic milk, butter, cottage cheese and ice cream, and use emulsifiers to examine the interaction of oil and water. Students will use starches to make a fun “gak” and to thicken rice pudding. ***Students must register ONE WEEK before class starts so I can e-mail parents a food allergy questionnaire to complete before Day 1***
