Topics We Explored
Earth's Core exploration class is focused on the innermost part of the Earth, which is believed to be composed mainly of iron and nickel. Students would learn about the layers of the Earth and the role of the core in the planet's magnetic field. They would also explore the causes and effects of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Soil Layers class introduces students to the layers of soil and their characteristics. They would learn about the importance of soil for plant growth and nutrient cycling. Students would also investigate the effects of human activities such as pollution and erosion on soil quality and ways to preserve soil health.
Animal Adaptations class would explore how animals have adapted to survive in their environments. Students would learn about the various types of adaptations such as physical, behavioral, and physiological. They would also investigate the relationships between predators and prey and how adaptations can give animals an advantage in the competition for resources.
The class on pollination teaches kids about the process by which plants transfer pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ, resulting in the formation of seeds and fruits. Students will learn about the different types of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds, and bats and their role in pollination. They will also explore the anatomy of flowers and how their structures aid in attracting and interacting with pollinators. Additionally, the class will cover the importance of pollination in maintaining ecosystems and producing food. Through hands-on activities such as dissecting flowers and observing pollinators, students will gain a deeper understanding of the fascinating world of pollination.
Topics We Explored
Extreme Weather and Tornados class focuses on the causes and effects of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. Students would learn about the science behind these events and how to stay safe in case of severe weather.
Mapping a Mountain class would teach students about the process of creating maps and topographic models of mountains. They would learn about the different features of a mountain and how to represent them on a map. Students would also explore the geological history of mountains and how they form.
The topic of mining would introduce students to the various types of mining and their impacts on the environment. They would learn about the different methods of extracting minerals and metals and the challenges associated with mining in different regions of the world.
How Bats Find Their Food in the Dark is one of the most fun lessons and explores the fascinating world of bats and their unique ability to navigate and find food in the dark. Students would learn about echolocation, the process by which bats use sound waves to locate objects, and the different strategies that different species of bats use to find their prey. They would also investigate the role of bats in ecosystems and the threats they face from habitat loss and disease.
