 Introducing Science... Our Level 1 Science program is designed to introduce young children to ideas of science. We want to get them acquainted with a range of world systems through a scientific lens. We explore each part of a system to see what it contributes to the system as a whole. In each course students get to explore systems that are exciting, tangible, and relevant to their interests. We perform a variety of experiments to expose students to proper scientific technique and the wonders of the world around them. | 2012-2013 Sequence Our Bodies Our Bodies is a physiology and anatomy class that explores the different systems of the human body.
