Learner-centered Science

Lab courses of scientific discovery
For micro-schools and homeschools

How it works

  1. Students receive logins to the course technology platform

  2. Students receive a physical lab supply kit to conduct hands-on labs 

  3. Short videos guide students through a science learning journey

  4. All labs begin with a challenge that can only be solved with experiments using supplies in the kit.

The Philosophy Of Teaching Through History

The history of science is full of failures, successes, funny coincidences, tragedies and, ultimately, radical change in how humans see the world.

 

All scientific ideas and discoveries began with simple mysteries and unexplainable hunches. And this is where QC Courses begin. 

​

Authentic science is like navigating in the dark. You do the best you can, with limited information, to make sense of your surroundings. Then you need to make bold hypotheses and test them ... in the lab. 

​

This is how the greatest scientists of history worked, and how they made breakthrough discoveries.

​

In QC Courses, your students will to do the same! They boldly put their own beliefs to test ... in the lab!
