ELEMENTARY SCIENCE WORKSHOPS
K-4TH AND 4TH-6TH
These popular elementary workshops are designed to excite and inspire science exploration in young students all while providing busy homeschool moms free time to spend as they see fit. Each workshop is a stand-alone science session and can be purchased in semester groups. During each class, students will receive an introduction to the topic, participate in a lab/project, receive a summary sheet explaining the topic, and receive a take-home activity sheet to do at their leisure. Mrs. Borg's workshops are a fun, hands-on experience.
Our scientific workshops are fact-based and considerate of different viewpoints. The elementary grades do not cover evolution.
What is the difference between the K-4th and 4th-6th workshops other than time and grade level? The older (4th-6th) workshops will have more writing and a more complex variation of the same topic. If you are unsure which grade level to choose for your student, please feel free to contact Mrs. Borg for recommendations.
No homework, no prep work, and no additional registration or lab fees. All workshops are held monthly on Thursdays. Questions can be sent to info@chsrc.org.
Topics include: Bats, States of Matter, Dinosaurs, Planets, The Earth, Flowers, Insects & Spiders, Electricity, and Structures.
