Reptiles, Fish and Amphibians
Reptiles, Fish and Amphibians
This course will focus on the natural curiosity and love children have for animals, specifically reptiles, fish and amphibians. Students will compare and contrast these creatures by looking at different factors including body structure, food sources and habitat. Live animals will allow students to compare and contrast reptiles, fish and amphibians and see how animal adaptations help them survive in their complex environments!

4H Explorers
4H Explorers
Do you want to get a chance to collaborate with other students just like you throughout North Carolina? 4H Explorers will be an opportunity to participate in the nationally recognized 4H program through experimentation, inquiry and investigation. This course will focus around soil solutions, the importance of insects and gardening! At the completion of this course students will be awarded a 4H leadership certificate from our local North Carolina 4H extension office.
Green STREAM
Green STREAM
Green STREAM is an Expedition that utilizes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and also incorporates Reading, and Art. During this 8-9 week course, students will be immersed in 3 distinct engineering projects. Each project is directly connected to our environment. The projects are; Using Nanotechnology To Clean Up Oil Spills, Clean Storm Drains = Clean Oceans, and Rooftop Gardens. Students who choose to embark on this Expedition will learn to think like engineers as they create and implement solutions for authentic issues that are posing threats to our environment.

Let's Go Lifecycling
Let's Go Lifecycling
This course will examine the life cycles of plants and animals (amphibious, aquatic, insect, and mammal). Students will observe and study the different life stages, how they are alike and different, and what is required to complete those lifecycles. The opportunity to grow plants and nurture life will be included.

PONDering Life
PONDering Life
This Expedition focuses on diverse life cycles and inheritance of traits in aquatic plants and animals. It will be combined with an inquiry-based approach to rigorous and authentic science instruction as students ask questions and define problems related to the topic. As they make models, set up investigations, and gather evidence, students will make claims that include ideas about systems, patterns, and cause-effect relationships.
