Homeschool STEM Enrichment – Grades 2-3

This class is for any student generally in grades 2 and 3 who wants to learn physical, life or Earth sciences from a licensed teacher who knows all of the cool things these subjects offer, as well as how to teach them to make them really fun and engaging.  We will ensure that all student learn, practice and use CAS (Colorado Academic Standards) in science and math.

Students will choose a particular phenomenon of interest which covers a great deal of the requirements of the Colorado Academic Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards.

1. We’ll start with Physical Science, discovering the unique properties of solids and liquids, and understand common properties, forms, and changes in matter and energy.
2. Then, we’ll explore Life Science how offspring of different animals have characteristics that are similar to but not exactly like their parents’ characteristics and how an organism is a living thing that has physical characteristics to help it survive
3. Lastly, we’ll look at Earth Systems and how Earth’s materials can be compared and classified based on their properties, as well as discover the processes and interactions of Earth’s systems and the structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space
