Session 3: Earth Science and Astronomy
This is the perfect full year science course for middle schoolers before they delve into high school sciences! This 31 week physical science course will give students a solid foundation in physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy. With this basic knowledge, students will then be able to enter upper level science courses in these subjects with a serious advantage of already having the basics down, therefore being able to spend more time expanding their knowledge at a higher academic level. This will not be a “fluff” class, or an “overview”- it is an academically rigorous science class.
No live classes–view lessons on YOUR schedule. In general, expect 1.5-2.5 hours to work through the lesson plan each week, and an additional 2-5 hours working on assignments (it really depends what assignment your child chooses to do and how they manage their time). For classes with two levels, the material is the same for both–the depth of the assignments differs. Younger students should usually be placed in Level 1. Older students, or younger students who want more of a challenge, should be placed in Level 2. Each lesson consists of a fully narrated PowerPoint presentation with images and videos to enhance the topics. Students will have access to our learning management system, Canvas, for viewing their lesson, printing worksheets, taking quizzes, viewing/submitting assignments, participating in discussions, and viewing grades/feedback.

We’re going to be making circuits. You can buy the parts separately. I will be using this kit from Amazon.
You’ll need all of the components in this kit:
Also, we’ll be testing insulators and conductors, so you’ll need:
LABS 1 & 2
LAB 3

Session 1: Physics
Session 3: Earth Science and Astronomy
This is an intermediary class between our zero math conceptual chemistry class and our full year high school chemistry class with upper level math and concepts. This course gives a solid overview of chemistry concepts, while introducing lower level math to get students comfortable with science math before they take an upper level chemistry course. With this basic knowledge, students will then be able to enter upper level science courses in these subjects with a serious advantage of already having the basics down, therefore being able to spend more time expanding their knowledge at a higher academic level.
