Discover the amazing plants God placed in the Pacific Northwest for our nourishment and healing. In this hands-on class, students will learn to identify local wild edible and medicinal plants through pictures, videos, and real-life samples brought into class.
We’ll taste safe plants, make herbal creations like tinctures, teas, salves, and salads, and explore how each plant reflects God’s design and care for His creation. The course will end with a forest field trip to see these plants in their natural setting.
Requirements:
Students must be able to take notes in their own field guide. I would also prefer students to be willing to taste the plants I bring in.
Wednesday - Science Lab - 127: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Description:
We will be cooking recipes and using foods to explore the science of God’s amazing Earth! Students will learn basic kitchen safety and some easy fun recipes while we investigate how our beautiful planet works. Topics will include layers of the Earth, tectonic plates, volcanoes, land and ocean formations and more.
In Egg-gineering you will use raw eggs as crash-test dummies for a wide variety of engineering design challenges. Can you protect an egg from a 12 foot drop using only 2 feet of butcher paper? Can you and two teammates maneuver an egg into a cup in the center of a 6’ diameter circle using a paper cup, some tape, a few soda straws, and 4’ of kite string? Will your egg crash test dummy survive the rigorous tests in Huevos Launcheros? Join us and find out.
NOTE: for students who have taken this class before, I will either assign different challenges or I will increase the difficulty of the existing projects.
This is a one semester class. There will be homework for the Huevos Launcheros project.
We will be learning how to safely solder, understand the care and cleaning of equipment, learn what equipment is needed, and how it is used. We will explore different techniques, types of solder, how to remove solder devices, and practice removing components from a PC Board. Students will build small practice projects while advancing to more difficult soldering projects.
Requirements:
SAFTEY FIRST, Students must stay focused during the soldering class for one hour. Any student who is disruptive or unsafe will not be able to attend class. Safety glasses and soldering kits are to be supplied by the instructor with the supply fee.
This course is a basic electricity class. We will be learning the requirements of components and building simple projects with PC Breadboarding projects. We will begin with simple DC projects and advance to more difficult projects dealing with series, parallel circuits, resistors, transistors, diodes, LEDs, capacitors (ceramic and electrolytic), and Volt-Ohm-Amp meter uses.
Requirements:
Students must stay focused on projects and follow directions carefully.
Elementary Apologetics is a class based off Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis curriculum. Your children will be able to clearly see the evidence of God’s Creation that will equip them to defend the validity of the Bible. Classes will include quizzes, games, videos, and activities to enhance their appreciation of God’s creation and help them learn how to defend their faith. My heart’s desire is to help children grow in their appreciation, interest, and knowledge of the Word of God!

Junior ceramic students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this class as they learn about decoration, carving, smoothing, sculpting and construction in clay. Over the course of our 16 weeks together, some projects we will be doing include: handprint and picture tiles, face tiles, little cups & bowls, boxes, design tiles. Students will have the opportunity to glaze and take home their work. As they work within the structure of the studio, your student will have cleanup duties as well as plenty of creative freedom. This is both for the confident independent junior artists and for thoughtful or hesitant artists. I teach my students to help build up a strong, positive environment by building each other up so the ceramic studio can become a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy. Tactile contact is one of the first experiences we have in this life; it is at our roots, so touching clay and experiencing ceramic art is a very grounding experience for students.
