Learning with Hands-On Activities
For years educators have stressed that students learn better "by doing" - especially in the sciences. Students of all ages learn more science-content and skills when they engage in investigation and discovery using everyday materials and the basic equipment of science.
How can this learning take place?
Our carefully designed inquiry centered lessons that involve children with hands-on activies which capture children's natural curiosity, stimulate their interest in science and teach them important science topics along with critical thinking skills.
It's unique!
Our unique Science Club program is designed to meet the needs of children in grades K-6. ClubScientific lessons help engage students in observation, measurement, identification of properties, and experimentation involving life, earth and physical science concepts. The units are rigorously researched by science educators with the help of teachers and children. The results are lessons that students can enjoy and genuinely learn from. Science was never this much fun!
Dozens of program topics!
Rocketry, Chemistry, Paleontology, Forensics, Weather, Flight, Technology and many other disciplines of science. All ClubScientific lessons are designed to help with the development of the following scientific process skills: observing, classifying, comparing, measuring, critical thinking, predicting, hypothesizing, sequencing and experimentation.
ClubScientific believes in parental involvement. In every ClubScientific class, your child will receive a lesson card describing the lesson with some suggestions for extending the learning experience at home. After each five week session, students will receive a science medal to recognize their Scientific achievements.
Each science enrichment UNIT lasts for five weeks. Classes meet once a week for approximately 60 minutes. Class size is 8-10 students, per instructor, with the cost of $70.00 per student per Unit.
Sample Units:
Each year we introduce new science topics allowing children to continue learning and exploring as they get older.
2011-12 After-School Program Session Descriptions
The Science of Ice Cream, Soda Pop and Candy
Ever wonder why ice cream never gets really hard in the freezer or what puts the pop in soda? It's your chance to find out. We will be investigating the science behind a few of our favorite snacks. Science never tasted so good!
Grossology Academy
Students will discover loads of horribly fantastic experiments! Projects focus on blood, slime, and dirty diapers! This is science with the squishy bits left in it!
Spooky Science
Many of the spooky things we see in movies are really just good science. Just in time for Halloween, we will make slime, play with scary sound effects, and discover how our bodies react when we are scared.
Extreme Radical Reactions
Did you know that bubbly, explosive concoctions are all just chemical reactions? We will explore the chemical elements as we have fun creating our own reactions. Elephant toothpaste, bubbling paints, and lemon suds are just a few of the experiments that we will be undertaking. So, put on those safety goggles and let's start mixing!
Edison's Workshop
Thomas Edison's hair stood up for a reason -- he was the father of modern electricity. During these five weeks, we will experiment with energy, electricity and circuitry. Who knows?! Your hair just might stand on end by the time we are finished.
Geology Rocks
Are you a rock hound? Do you love to collect rocks? If so, this is the place for you. In Geology Rocks we will discover the science that happens underground while no one is watching. We will explore geodes and create our own crystals. We will discover the science behind how rocks are formed. Get ready to explore the world of high pressure!
Rockin' Rockets
Become your own astronomy expert. Share in the secrets of the Sun & Moon, of the Earth and the stars within the Milky Way and beyond. Join us in galactic projects that include a solar system model, star finder, glow-in the dark Saturn, constellation game, & air burst rockets
