 Here is a workshop that emphasizes the best part of science . . . the EXPERIMENTS! 
Science is not just what you read in a book, it's what you see taking place in front of you, that makes the text come alive. This workshop includes a smattering of hands-on experiments and demonstrations that illustrate scientific principles. In this class, our attitude is "the bigger the mess, the better". This week will be so much fun that students won't notice that it's educational.

See below for payment and location. 

Critter Class II: VERTEBRATES 
March 29 - April 2    
12:00 -2:00  - Grades 5 - 7 
$155

This workshop is a sequel to Critter Class I, offered last semester.  In this continuing study of zoology we will take a more detailed look at the complexity of vertebrates and the classification system. This five-day study, which includes snake and shark dissections, has become students' favorite workshop.  Each workshop will consist of a lecture period, class discussion/activity, and dissection. In order to accommodate two grade ranges, two sections of this workshop will be offered. No prerequisites or prior science studies required. 
See below for payment and location. 

Anchorage Workshop Location: Anchorage Baptist Temple, on Northern Lights Blvd.

High School Labs:

 These two-semester length courses are intended to provide experience to expand the student’s knowledge of biology/chemistry concepts. Utilizing hands-on lab experiments and visuals, the labs are designed to reinforce concurrent independent study in a chemistry/biology text book*, as well as provide a foundation for continuing science-related courses. Progress will be assessed by homework assignments, quizzes and in-class reviews. Students will receive a syllabus and home-work assignments, in order that they may come to each lab with a basic understanding of the topic. Format will include a short time of instruction/discussion followed by a lab period. Registration for the spring semester will open in November; students are not obligated to register for the second semester.  

 

*Contact instructor for text recommendations.
