Our Core Goals For Science Education
We have three high-level goals with every science course we teach: increase motivation/excitement to learn, teach practical skills, and prepare the student academically.
-
Motivational Goal: Spark a natural curiosity for the world so that learning is more about the journey than the destination.
Practical Goal: Help students think logically and formulate well-structured questions about the world so they can find the answer to any question they come up with (even if the answer is “we don’t know yet”).
Academic Goal: Cover the most important NGSS standards to give students confidence and set them up for any future academic endeavor they wish to pursue.
Next Generation Science Standards & skills covered
-
The Next Generation Science Standards are the most well-developed science standards for K-12 globally. They aren’t perfect (no one-size-fits-all standards are), but they are a great starting point. We combine these standards with what children are curious about, current world events, and practical skills to provide a well-rounded science curriculum that prepares children for anything they might want to pursue. Below is a description of the academic standards we use as a starting point for this course.
-
Basic body structures, including muscles, bones, and nerves.
-
Traits passed down from parents to offspring, including genetic traits.
-
How the human body has evolved over time to adapt to different environments.
-
How the human body interacts with its environment, including response to external stimuli.
