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. for a chance to win a gift card!
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

I really loved this module even though I did know most of what it was talk about from learning it in school I still loved that I got to go over it another time. It’s way more fun then doing it in public school.
