Public Speaking
Mystery Science

Scientists are curious and constantly exploring and asking questions! In this 12-week course, we will be completing two units of science. In one unit, students will explore the Earth, Sun,
Moon and stars using observations of shadows and changing patterns in the sky. Students will also explore the planets of our Solar System and begin to consider what might lie beyond.
In the second unit, students will investigate features and processes of the Earth’s surface. Students explore the rapid process of volcanic eruptions! Students also explore the gradual Earth processes of weathering and erosion. They will apply their knowledge and design solutions to mitigate the impacts of these processes on humans. Lots of hand-on opportunities and group work each week!
