ALL1001-Z First 6 Weeks Mondays 10:30am-11:50am Start Date 29-Jan
Zoom Limit 25
This six-week course will prepare parents and grandparents to “teach and amaze” their children and grandchildren. The coordinator will use children’s books to teach simple science concepts. Each week, she will cover one aspect of science: physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth science, life science, and process skills. During this course, students will learn how to use a handheld microscope. Participants will need a computer to view each activity and download printable sheets from the coordinator’s website, which will be provided. Please have scissors, tape, glue stick, ruler, crayons, or colored pencils available for use during class. Additional materials necessary to participate in each activity will be available to pick up at the ALL office or at the coordinator’s home. She will use a document camera so that she can help participants with the activity.
