Description
In the Exploring Science Unit Study, we will take an introductory tour of four areas of science: biology, earth science, chemistry, and physics. Some topics will include famous scientists, the scientific method, independent/dependent variables, lab equipment, and sample experiments for each of the four areas of science. Students can work through all the assignments in each module – or just the ones they choose (or parents assign).
The four modules will cover the following topics:
Module 1 – Intro to Science
Module 2 – Intro to the Lab
Module 3 – Intro to Biology and Earth Science
Module 4 – Intro to Chemistry and Physics
Activities will include reading articles, watching videos, playing games/quizzes, doing hands-on activities, and completing engaging projects. The module projects will allow students to explore topics in more depth through research and experiments. Students will present their project in a digital format–a poster, video, picture, slideshow, etc.
The content in this Exploring Science Unit Study varies in difficulty so there’s something for everyone! The fun games and interesting facts make it appealing to a variety of ages. This unit study is self-paced. Most of the activities are done online, although there are a few things to do offline (e.g. science experiments).
Recommended age: 4th-8th grade
