Homeschool Natural Science Program for 12-13* Year-Olds
This lab-based course will focus on using the scientific method - we will ask questions, form hypotheses, collect data in the field, and present our findings in charts and graphs. Using the variety of outdoor environments at the Heard, we will explore topics such as water quality testing, wildlife surveys, oil spill cleanup, and animal behavior studies.
