Science Thinkers is a year long drop-off course that will introduce First and Second Graders to the world of science. This curriculum is fully aligned to the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).

First Graders will cover: 
UNIT 1: Matter and Energy
UNIT 2: Survival of Living Things
UNIT 3: Weather
UNIT 4: Space
UNIT 5: Earth’s Surface

Second Graders will cover:
Unit 1: Matter
Unit 2: Living Things
Unit 3: Habitats
Unit 4: Earth's Systems

The first unit will cover the similar material as we help students transition into our routine. We will do our first couple of classes together as we learn about being a scientist and the scientific method. For the remainder of the unit, students will be split into two groups based on their grade level. We will continue to do some activities together and some based on grade appropriate curriculum. We will have two teachers in the classroom at all times. As with all homeschool classes, parents are always welcome to stay. 

Daily routine will include free play,  science investigations & experiments, read aloud books, activities as a whole group and grade appropriate lessons. There will be occassional classwork to be completed between classes.

Note: Depending on how many students register, we may adjust the curriculum with parental input.
