Description:
PREREQUISITE - must have completed fall/winter term in order to register for this class. Not accepting new students.
This is an introductory course for students just beginning a formal study of the sciences. We will be using Apologia's General Science, 2nd edition. As a core class, students will receive a grade based on lab participation and module test scores.
We will aim to cover one module every two weeks. Class time will focus on review of concepts from the text and lab work. The course covers topics ranging from the scientific method, nature of scientific investigation,and the history of science to introductions to geology, biology, and anatomy.
Students will need to have access to our Google Classroom. We will not use class time for tests. Each module test will be posted on the Classroom stream after the module and appropriate labs have been completed. Instructions for tests will be provided in class.
Materials Required: A pen or pencil, a notebook, and their textbook.

Description:
This is a CORE class that meets twice a week for the full year. Parents are required to attend the mandatory Core Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 24th at 2pm, August 24th at 6pm, September 7th at 2pm, or September 7th at 6pm.
This class is intended for high-school students who need to begin earning lab science credits. We will be using the Apologia Biology, 3rd Edition text. Apologia courses are designed to be self-directed learning, so students should be prepared to spend at least an hour each day studying the material.
The course is divided into a review session on Mondays and the accompanying lab on Wednesdays. The teacher's fee is for both the review and the lab. The review session is to hold students accountable for getting the work done in a timely manner as well as cover difficult concepts that students often have difficulty understanding.
Two weeks are being allotted for each module. Students are expected to keep up with the readings and come to lab prepared. This is a full-year course intended to help satisfy a student’s high school lab science credit requirements. Instructor will administer and correct tests and keep grade records.

This class is intended for middle- to early high-school aged students who are beginning a formal study of the sciences or continuing an introduction to general scientific concepts before diving into high school biology or chemistry. Apologia texts are designed for self-directed learning, so students should expect to spend about an hour each day working through the textbook material.
This class is comprised of a review component to help students with concepts from the book, and a lab component. Two weeks are allotted for each module. The fee is for both the review and lab.

- General Science
Schedule:
Wednesday - Classroom - 224: 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm
Description:
This course is designed to introduce the wonders of our solar system, the stars, and beyond. Your student will explore and learn about the sun, planets, asteroid belt, dwarf planets, the Kuiper belt galaxies, nebulae, and even black holes as they reveal the marvel and might of our loving Creator.
Each week in class we will do an experiment or project to reinforce what students are learning. Students must be able and willing to read the chapter at home individually or with a parent (there's also an audio version available for purchase from Apologia if that works better for your student) and come to class ready to engage in our classroom project/experiment that correlates with their at-home reading for that week. The goal is to continue to spark their curiosity about the world God has created and build good at-home study skills along with having a fun time with their peers doing cool experiments together.
***The first day of this class will be September 29th due to the teacher being out of town.*** STEM SCIENTISTS 1 is a "Hands-On" class for ages 6-7 year olds. Students will learn new concepts every week and perform an experiment that reinforces that concept to take home. Our classes will include Science, Technology, Chemistry, & Engineering.
