Matter

Atoms, mass and volume are all parts of matter! Through this topic, the students will gain hands-on experience with the basic elements of matter and chemistry and maybe make some fun messes along the way!

Energy

Kinetic, potential and other types of energy will be a part of this important topic, their specific characteristics and how they’re transferred onto objects. The students will be up and moving a lot with this topic!

Magnetism

How do magnets work? How do they relate to our planet and to other forms of metal? These are just a few questions the students will answer in relation to magnetism.

Astronomy, Space & The Night Sky

How big is our universe? What about our galaxy? There are many unanswered questions about space, the final frontier, that we don’t know yet! But with so much that we don’t know, there’s a lot of information we do have through NASA. The students will learn about these things as well as completing a class project that will help them get to know their specific planet even better!
