The Main Idea
If you're a homeschooling parent, you know that some subjects are easier for some folks than others. My goal with the homeschool science workshops is to give kids an exciting, hands-on experience with science that might be harder to come by at home. Classes can be aligned with state or national science standards, if desired, and can be tailor-made to fit your group of students.
A grade level range of 2 or 3 grades is best, and any grade level from kindergarten through high school can be accomodated!
Need a little extra science in your day?
Rates
The standard rate for small group science classes is $15/student for a two-hour class, or $25/student for a four-hour class. Both class lengths require a minimum of seven students.
I have also done a weekly series of 3-6 one-hour classes, for an average of $7.50/student/hour (minimum 7)
Topics
Below is a list of topics from previous classes. If you have another idea, let's work together to make it happen!
-Crayfish (arthropods and crustaceans using live models!)
-The SUN (as an astronomical body, and as a source of energy for all living things. This is an earth science/life science combo)
-Body energy (the digestive and respiratory systems)
-Geology (with an emphasis on Ohio geology)
-Comparative Invertebrate Anatomy (combination lecture and dissection class, older kids only)
-Mostly Microbes (a taxonomic approach to microbiology, lab and lecture)
-Cardiovascular system -Intro to Ecology
-Weather -Bones & muscles
-Special topics in Chemistry -DNA
-Rocket science -Intro to Genetics
-Trees & Ecosystems -Simple Machines
-Forensic science -Biomes
