| Description:
We will be using the NEW 3rd Edition Apologia Text with additional
hands-on activities in class. This course is designed to be a student’s
first systematic introduction to the sciences. We will focus on thinking
critically with hands-on labs and STEM projects. We'll cover such topics
as the scientific method, designing experiments, general astronomy,
geology, paleontology, meteorology, general chemistry, general physics,
and general biology. The text is written in a nice conversational style,
and includes apologetics and recognition of God's handiwork. Class time
also includes lectures/discussion emphasizing main points from each
chapter. Follow-up emails will be sent after each class, clarifying
homework. Students are expected to complete chapter reading, study guide
questions, and chapter tests at home. The textbook is available in MP3
format if it would benefit your student to listen to the material during
weekly chapter reading. Tutor: Laura Kirkwold has a B.S. in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences. After graduation she worked in the research lab at the University of Minnesota Dental School. She has four graduated and working young adults. She has been teaching at CHAT since 2007. Cost: $240, $250, or $260
per semester (depending on registration
date)
