Stem Stories - Space Adventures - T2
with Melissa Platero
Ages: 4 - 7
In this class we will read fun stories about space, learn about the planets in our solar system, learn about the Earth's moon phases, and create some crafts.
Please Note: Lunch is required for all who have 2nd & 3rd period classes. Please add the correct lunch to your cart before checking out. If we notice that it is not added, we will add it as a separate invoice to you.
Dissection - T3
with Stephenie Stevens
Ages: 14 - 18
This high school laboratory course offers students a hands-on exploration of animal organs and human systems through guided dissections. By examining organs such as the heart, kidney, brain, and eyeball—with optional specimens like lungs and liver—students will investigate how structure and function are interconnected in living organisms. Each lab integrates careful technique, anatomical terminology, and scientific reasoning, supported by digital models and comparative anatomy discussions aligned with life science standards (NGSS LS1). Throughout the course, students will identify organ structures, analyze system-level interactions, and explore evolutionary adaptations across species. Emphasis is placed on observation, collaboration, documentation, and laboratory safety. By the end of the term, learners will be able to connect microscopic and macroscopic anatomy to biological processes, building a strong foundation for future studies in biology, medicine, or health sciences.
Galaxies & the Universe - T3
with AJ Eldred
Ages: 9 - 12
Galaxies and the Universe is a mixed-media class that aims to provide an introduction to astronomical concepts at a late elementary to early middle comprehension level. We will be focusing on the greater stellar bodies, such as black holes, nebulae, and quasars while bringing the concepts back to earth in the form of in-class research and other hands-on activities.

Kingdoms of Life: Elementary Animal and Plant Science - T3
with Rachel Pantke
Ages: 5 - 8
In this exciting science class for learners age 5 -8, we will dive into the wild world of the Animal Kingdom and explore the leafy wonders of the Plant Kingdom. From buzzing bees to towering trees, slimy frogs to spiky cacti — students will discover how living things grow, move, eat, and survive in their own amazing ways. Through hands-on experiments, creative crafts, interactive games, and nature scavenger hunts, students will become junior biologists as they learn how animals and plants are grouped, how they adapt to their environments, and why they’re so important to our planet. Whether you're swinging through the rainforest or tiptoeing through a garden, there's always something incredible to discover in the Kingdoms of Life!
Rebooting Civilization: The Science of Dr. Stone - W1
with Seema Khan
Ages: 10 - 16
What would you do if the entire world turned to stone—and you had to rebuild civilization from scratch? In this hands-on science adventure inspired by the anime Dr. Stone, students will explore the real-world science behind the show’s inventions and discoveries. Each week, we’ll recreate and test scientific breakthroughs from the Stone World, from purifying water and making soap to starting fires to creating circuits and simple machines. Along the way, students will think like scientists, engineers, and innovators as they explore how curiosity and creativity can change the world. Please note: this class is inspired by Dr. Stone and will include short clips and discussion of scenes from the show. Since every family has different guidelines about what their children are allowed to watch, we encourage parents to preview the show beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for their student.

Stem Stories: Earth Science - W3
with Melissa Platero
Ages: 6 - 11
In this class we will read stories about earth science and learn about the layers of the earth, plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains, rocks and minerals, and the water cycle. We will create crafts and go outside to look for rocks and minerals.

Engineering Adventures - W4
with Seema Khan
Ages: 7 - 15
Step into the world of invention and discovery in this hands-on engineering class! Each week, students will tackle real-world design challenges—building bridges, simple machines, egg drop challenges, launching rockets, testing and building various structures, and more. While completing these projects, students will learn the underlying science and engineering concepts that make them work. They will explore energy, including different forms and how they are harnessed in engineering applications; force and motion, investigating Newton’s Laws and how forces affect the movement of objects; materials science, examining the properties of different materials and how they influence design choices; and structural stability, understanding the importance of balance and strength in building resilient structures. Using creativity, teamwork, and the Engineering Design Process, students will brainstorm, prototype, test, and refine their projects, learning how math, physics, and engineering principles turn ideas into real solutions. By the end of the class, they will understand the science behind engineering and experience the excitement of designing and building their own inventions.

Chaotic Chemistry - R3
with Lauren Walker
Ages: 7 - 11
Fizzing. Sculpting. Squishing. Bubbling. Popping. Learning. Let's do this! Chaotic Chemistry is a hands-on, sensory-friendly class designed to help students explore science concepts through fun, tactile experiments. Each week features a new project emphasizing curiosity, observation, and play-based learning. We will explore states of matter, chemical reactions, density and buoyancy, surface tension, polymers and more! Some of the experiments include: - Make your own slime - DIY lava lamps - Build a volcano (aka the bread and butter of every science fair) - Elephant toothpaste - Exploding colors - Mentos rockets Yeah. You're gonna want to wear some goggles for this.
