First two classes on Tuesday morning are geared toward 2nd-5th grader students and the other classes are geared toward 6th-8th grade students.

Jan. 12 - Feb. 2 - Conservation of Matter
Feb. 9 - Mar. 2 - Physical and Chemical Properties
Mar. 9 - Mar. 30 - Synthetic vs. Natural Products

Class Description:
This class is divided into 3 separate classes, each 4 weeks long. Your child can participate in just one or all three. Each of these classes focus on concepts in chemistry. In Conservation of Matter, students will learn how to interpret data. They will learn to design and then conduct experiments to test their hypotheses about the conservation of matter. In Physical and Chemical Properties, students will learn about different physical and chemical properties. They will carry out experiments to determine the properties of different substances. They will even identify unknown substances by determining their physical and chemical properties. In Synthetic vs. Natural Products students will make cordage and soap using yucca plants that they find in the woods. Then they will compare their own cordage and soap to synthetic cordage and soap as we look at the differences between man-made and natural products.
