Ph.D. Science Experiments 

Program Timeframe:  8:30 AM -- 1:00 PM

Grade Levels:  K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Enrollment Capacity: 15

Project Details:  

A hands-on learning summer school program for elementary science using Great Minds' PhD science curriculum can be an engaging and interactive experience for students. Here's a possible outline for such a program:

Day 1: Introduction to Science

Overview of the scientific method

Introduction to lab safety

Conducting experiments with water and air

Day 2: Life Science

Introduction to living organisms

Study of plants and animals

Dissecting a flower or seed

Day 3 3: Earth Science

Introduction to geology and the study of rocks and minerals

Formation of the earth

Volcanoes and earthquakes

Day 4: Physical Science

Introduction to matter and energy

Study of magnets and electricity

Conducting experiments with sound and light

Day 5: Culminating Project

Throughout the program, students will have hands-on experiences with lab equipment such as beakers, test tubes, and microscopes. They will also have the opportunity to work in small groups, collaborate with their peers, and ask questions. The program will be taught by qualified educators who have experience teaching science to elementary school students and who are familiar with the Great Minds curriculum.

The program will be evaluated at the end of the 5 weeks to determine its effectiveness. Students will be assessed based on their understanding of the scientific method, their ability to conduct experiments, and their final project presentation. The goal of the program is to provide a fun and engaging learning experience for students that will inspire their curiosity and interest in science.
