PHYSICS or PHYSICAL SCIENCE Tutoring

$45.00 – $400.00

Physics can be very challenging, as there is a great deal of mathematical thinking involved. Tutoring for high school students will answer questions from your classes, help you with writing quality answers to questions as well as doing the math involved, which can be extensive. We will provide homework help to get that done early in the weekend so that you can have fun the rest of it. We will also do hands-on activities and slow-mo video to help our kinetic and visual learners see what is going on. Michelle will provide tutoring for these sessions, as she has taught high school Physics and has a Bachelor's degree in STEM. This class can be done in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location.

IB/AP CHEMISTRY – Test Preparation (SATURDAYS)

$0.00 – $895.00

20% off this course if you sign up by August 31st. Use code: PREP20

Michelle is providing this instruction. She has taught both IB Biology and IB Chemistry for many years in Denver, so she knows the content, the test, the strategies for taking the test and is more than highly qualified to instruct your child to do their best.

Passing the IB or AP Chemistry test can provide college credit, a financial savings of thousands of dollars, and a time savings of hundreds of hours. This class includes a pretest to determine baseline with specific strategies to maximize scores, and test-taking strategies that statistically work. We will focus on Chemistry concepts that are often challenging for students, including stoichiometry, kinetics, pH, thermodynamics, organic and more . We will offer in-person classes in Conifer, CO, and can be taken virtually based on your needs and location.

Office Hours available after classes for students to get more individual attention.

Jewelry Making – 2025

$50.00 – $195.00

Jewelry Making: We will choose two kinds of jewelry to make, based on student choice (metal/wire, bead, macrame, leather, natural fibers, stone, glass, clay). Students will design their own creation and learn techniques for making their design). By the end of the week, students will have either something to wear or something to gift of their own creation.

Homeopathic Plant Science – 2025

$50.00 – $195.00

Plants are the foundation of our survival, as a food source for us and for the animals we can eat, and as medicines to reduce pain, calm nerves, reduce inflammation, soothe a sunburn, and many more. Some plants can also cause severe health issues to humans and our pets. Students will build a medicinal plant book, include pictures or pressed specimens, identify their common and scientific names as well as their uses to heal or harm. At the end of the week, they get to keep their book, and hopefully add to it.

Veterinary Medicine – 2025

$50.00 – $195.00

Veterinary medicine is an incredibly popular science for young people. It is also pretty challenging, as the patients veterinarians treat cannot tell them what hurts or how they feel. In this camp, students will learn about hematology (study of blood), parasitology (common skin, fecal and blood parasites) and microbiology (microscopic organisms which cause diseases). They will do case studies on small and large animal diagnosis of diseases based on symptoms and winners of the case-study contests will win prizes. They will also practice dissection, identifying muscle tissue, veins, arteries, bones and skin. Lastly, they will practice suturing techniques. Their drawings and case studies will be added to their notebook to use as a reference for their future studies.

Homeschool STEM Enrichment – Grades 4-5

$49.00 – $425.00
This class is for any student generally in grades 4 and 5 who wants to learn physical, life or Earth sciences from a licensed secondary education 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 can even apply grades to the student's work to report on transcripts if that is requested. 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.

We'll start with Physical Science, where Energy comes in many forms such as light, heat, sound, magnetic, chemical, and electrical Earth is part of the solar system, which includes the Sun, Moon, and other bodies that orbit the Sun in predictable patterns that lead to observable paths of objects in the sky as seen from Earth

Then, we'll explore Life Science where all living things share similar characteristics, but they also have differences that can be described and classified. We'll also compare fossils to each other or to living organisms, which reveals features of prehistoric environments and provides information about organisms today.

Lastly, we'll look at Earth Systems where Earth is part of the solar system, which includes the Sun, Moon, and other bodies that orbit the Sun in predictable patterns that lead to observable paths of objects in the sky as seen from Earth.

Homeschool STEM Enrichment – High School Earth Science

$59.00 – $495.00
This class is for any high school student who wants to learn Earth Science (geology, astronomy, natural hazards) from a licensed secondary education 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 can even apply grades to the student's work to report on transcripts if that is requested. 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. High school Earth science covers the processes and interactions of Earth's systems and the structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space. This includes:

The history of the universe, solar system and Earth. As part of the solar system, Earth interacts with various extraterrestrial forces and energies such as gravity, solar phenomena, electromagnetic radiation, and impact events that influence the planet’s geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in a variety of ways.

The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain geological, physical, and geographical features of Earth.

Climate is the result of energy transfer among interactions of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

There are costs, benefits, and consequences of exploration, development, and consumption of renewable and nonrenewable resources.

The interaction of Earth's surface with water, air, gravity, and biological activity causes physical and chemical changes

Natural hazards have local, national and global impacts such as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and thunderstorms.
