Homeschool Natural Science Program for 12-13* Year-Olds

This lab-based course will focus on the “tools” of scientists and the connection between math and science. Students will use microscopes, weather instruments, dissection tools, and other lab equipment to make measurements and gather data. Using the variety of outdoor environments at the Heard, we will explore topics such as microscopic life, weather trends, bird banding, plant chromatography and DNA. Registration will be open to the public beginning July 3.
