What We Are Learning
Each semester covers entirely different material!
Semester 1: Sky & Light
September 1st – December 8th
Students dive into the atmosphere to become "junior meteorologists." We’ll explore:
Weather Patterns: Forecasting, the water cycle, clouds, and storms (tornadoes, hurricanes, and lightning).
The Physics of Light: Shadows, rainbows, reflection, refraction, and the beauty of color.
Semester 2: Oceans & Marine Life
January 4th – April 21st
(No classes during MSBSD Spring Break)
We head underwater to discover the secrets of the sea. Students will explore:
Oceanography: Tides, waves, sand, seashells, and the different ocean zones.
Marine Biology: Life in the coral reefs, the "midnight zone," and amazing creatures like sharks and dolphins.
More Than Just Science
For our younger learners, these sessions provide a nurturing environment to practice essential classroom behaviors. While we experiment, we also work on:
Raising hands and waiting for a turn to speak.
Following multi-step directions.
Sharing materials and problem-solving with kind words.
