Native Species of PNW (SCI) (hannah)

In this class, we will investigate native flora, fauna, and fungi of our beautiful Pacific Northwest region. Activities will include learning about all our fave animals, edible plants, fungi identification, one dissection, and (at least) one field trip. You will read, write, watch, make art, and likely do a research project. 

To earn credit for this class, you must participate daily by asking questions / practicing scientific inquiry. You must complete all the work required. If you REALLY do not want to do the dissection, we can talk about alternatives. Open to all.

  • Outside work: Occasional throughout the term

Science Fair (amy)

In our Science Fair class, students will embark on an exciting journey of discovery, diving deep into the scientific method as they develop individual projects that reflect their unique interests and curiosities. Through a shared scientific project and collaborative learning, students will not only enhance their understanding of scientific principles but also cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students will ultimately develop and see through their own scientific project, which will be available for the school to view at the end of the term. This experience will ignite a passion for science and empower students to express their creativity and innovation in a supportive environment. Join us as we explore the wonders of science together!

  • Outside work: A moderate amount (e.g., 30-60 min) for each session
  • Minimum students: 3
