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.

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.

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!
