Science/Health/Social Studies

---

 This will be a true general science course as we take a tour through the  branches of science.  We will be covering earth science (astronomy,  meteorology, oceanography, earth study, geology, paleontology, and  environmental science), biology, chemistry, and physics.  Towards the  end of the year, students will be asked to create a Rube Goldberg  machine which will demonstrate their creativity, cause and effect while  using kinetic and potential energy and simple machines.  At the end of  the course, students will be better prepared for high school science and  appreciative of the world and our creator.

 We will be diving into the world of plants to learn all about botany.   Our studies will allow us to learn about the lifecycle of the plant from  seed to tree, different varieties (maybe even feed our Venus fly  trap).  This will be a hands-on course allowing students plenty of  review throughout the course and mastery too.
Towards the end of the year, we will take a little detour in order to  incubate eggs and raise baby chicks into full grown chickens.
