Dialectic Science Modules
These a la carte classes are offered throughout the year. Ranging from 2 week to 12 weeks in length, our mod courses allow you to customize your school year to fit your schedule and interests. Using Apologia Science as our base, we customize our mods with concepts and projects well-suited to online learning. Science students come to class each week to learn exciting new concepts, then complete lab experiments, projects, and reports at home.

Exploring the Weather
Weather is an incredible subject to study and it affects all of us every single day! In this weather unit, students will learn the basics of clouds, thunderstorms, lightning, hurricanes, and forecasting. Students will make a cloud board, perform an experiment to create a cloud at home using common household items, and will do a small research project about a storm of their choice to present to classmates during our final class meeting. This class provides an excellent opportunity for students to practice public speaking in a safe and encouraging environment. A supply list will become available prior to the first class meeting.
Age: Minimum age 12. Recommended for 7th-9th graders.

Bio/Chem/Physics Sampler
This God-honoring 12-week course will introduce students to various concepts that will be studied in more depth during upper level biology, chemistry, and physics courses. Students in this course will gain basic knowledge in all three subjects and will perform several safe experiments at home. Subject matter to be investigated includes: scientific thinking and lab report writing introduction, DNA extraction, flower anatomy, ecosystems, the periodic table of elements, ionic/covalent bonds, chemical names and formulas, differentiating chemical reaction types, motion in one dimension, and differentiating potential/kinetic energies. This course will have assigned homework each week and will be fun and engaging while inspiring students to LOVE all things science! A supply list will become available prior to the first class meeting.
