Zany Zoology - Amazing Animals
Are you ready for an adventure into the animal kingdom? From majestic mammals to fascinating monotremes and awesome reptiles — it's an animal lover's dream! Each week we will learn about a unique animal from around the world through games, experiments and simuluations about Polar Bears, Chameleons, Poison Dart Frogs, Monotremes and more! Come discover a different animal each week as our classroom is transformed into a Zoology lab!
B3 Preschool Program
Our background in education and a curriculum grounded in early childhood education theory means Bricks Bots Beakers classes for preschoolers get kids truly thinking and problem solving. BRICKS classes are more than just copying a picture of a simple build. Preschoolers brainstorm, create, test, and redesign age appropriate projects. BOTS classes incorporate age appropriate coding. BEAKERS classes take natural scientists (aka preschool children) and introduces them to: science vocabulary, developing a hypotheses, making predictions, recording results and drawing conclusions. All of this happens in a curiosity driven, collaborative, small group class setting with experienced teachers who scaffold rich learning experiences.
Jr Robotics
Junior Robotics
Join us as we explore the world of coding & robotics! This class will expose our junior learners to all things Robotic! Students will rotate through learning with different types of robots and kits.
Robots include:
- Lego WeDo & Lego Essentials: where students use Scratch coding to create programs for robots built from Legos
- Ozobots: bots that are programmed through color coding
- MouseBots: use problem solving and sequencing to solve puzzles with a robot mouse
- Edison: Design a Bot for Sumo Wrestling, create a maze for your bot to follow and more
- Snap Circuits: discover the world of circuitry
Junior Robotics is designed for students aged 5 to 8 who may or may not have experience building with LEGOS and Robotics. In addition to learning coding and engineering concepts, students will also develop their literacy, math and social-emotional skills as they turn concepts into reality. Students learn to follow-instructions when building and programming their autonomous robots. They then get to explore and problem-solve while customizing their robotic designs. This class is designed for emergent readers (children still learning how to read).
Class size in limited to 8 children.
Homeschool Coding & Robotics
Join our Coding & Robotics Club for Homeschoolers!
Students will be exposed to both Coding and Robotics.
Robotics Options include: Spike PRIME Robotics, WeDo Robotics, Edison & Spike Essentials Robotics
Coding Options include: KidsCode (Python) or Scratch
Depending on the age of the students, different options will be available.
This is a multi-age group - ranging from ages 8 to 12
Science Thinkers K
Science Thinkers is a year long drop-off course that will introduce Kindergarteners to the world of science. This curriculum is fully aligned to the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).
Kindergarteners will cover:
UNIT 1: Our Senses - DONE
UNIT 3: Seasons and Weather
UNIT 2: Properties
UNIT 4: Plants
UNIT 5: Animal Life Cycles
UNIT 6: Force and Motion
As with all homeschool classes, parents are always welcome to stay.
Daily routine will include free play and a kinder-friendly science lessons. We will incorporate stories, investigations and experiments.There will be occassional optional activities to be completed between classes.
