If we are not at your school, please talk to the principal or Head Master about adding our classes.
We also offer late classes, Homeschool classes and Saturday school! So please view our Schedule page.
We will explore concepts of Physics, Rocketry and Flight in our Science Discoveries class. This is a great class for students with inquiring minds who want to know the reason why. We ask questions that will have a series of cool and exciting experiments and activities which will help the students to answer and understand how things work.
In the Physics portion, we will learn about the concepts of Inertia, Vacuums, Atmospheric Pressure, Rotational Velocity, the forces of impact and more. We will create amusement park rides, understand the physics behind sport activities and why helmets are so important, create vacuums and lots more.
In our Flight classes, we will take your future Pilot to a whole new level. Our program will introduce Bernoulli, thrust, pitch, and roll as we study, experiment with, and build: airplanes, helicopters, hover craft and much more in order to understand the principles of flight.
With our Rockets program, your student will understand what it takes to propel rockets through space! Students will learn how to optimize their rocket design, control its flight, and bring it safely back on land using: bottle rockets with parachuting eggs, air pressure rockets, and Estes rockets.
Two themes will be covered this year: What's It All About? And Truth or Legend.
In What’s It All About?, we will study the wonders of water and what happens when it: freezes, condensates, boils or gets mixed with other liquids and solids
In Truth or Legend we will investigate the science behind urban myths such as:
We will explore the science behind many urban myths and see what we conclude. Many different areas of science will be covered including Magnetism, Optical Illusions, and Chemistry. This program will increase deductive reasoning!
