ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL LABS (AGES 14+) - FALL 2020
FALL 2020 LAB SERIES: Students can register for full semester or for individual labs.
HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGY LABS – online labs
Mondays, September 14-December 14
No class October 12, November 23
12:30pm-2:00pm ET
Ages 14+
In our High School Biology Labs, students investigate the fundamentals of life from cells and biological processes, to invertebrate and vertebrate anatomy. Students learn laboratory techniques and perform hands-on science experiments, including dissections, commonly required in many high school biology curricula. A brief review of relevant material starts each lab, followed by a lab period which includes lab preparation, experimentation and clean-up. Students have the option to complete reports for each investigation (to be evaluated by the parent). Lab supplies are included in registration fee (pick up or shipping options available.

HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL SCIENCE LABS – online labs
Wednesdays, September 16-December 16 (Fall 2020)
No class October 14 or November 25
12:30pm-2:00pm ET
Ages 14+
The focus of our High School Physical Science Labs is exploring fundamental principles of physics by conducting investigations of force and motion, electricity and magnetism, and properties of waves. Students learn laboratory techniques, and perform hands-on science experiments commonly required in many high school physical science curricula. Please note: labs related to chemistry are conducted during our High School Chemistry Labs course. A brief review of relevant material starts each lab, followed by a lab period which includes lab preparation, experimentation and clean-up. Labs will be based on the Glencoe Physical Science Lab Manual and is recommended, but optional, for students to complete labs and lab reports (to be evaluated by the parent). Lab supplies are included in registration fee (pick up or shipping options available. See lab descriptions here.

HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY LABS – online labs
Fridays, September 18-December 18
No class October 16, November 27
12:30pm-2:00pm ET
Ages 14+
Basic chemistry principles are reinforced by building models, using the periodic table of elements, and conducting lab experiments commonly required in many high school chemistry and physical science curricula. Students learn laboratory techniques and perform hands-on experiments, including investigating properties of gases, liquids and solids, conducting chemical reactions, and exploring polymers. A brief review of relevant material starts each lab, followed by a lab period which includes lab preparation, experimentation and clean-up. Lab supplies are included in registration fee (pick up or shipping options available. See lab descriptions here.
