The students will strengthen their math skills through provoking activities which include multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals. These activities will enhance their math knowledge and provide a deeper understanding of such important skills. We will explore the concept of probability and use pentaminoes and tangrams to develop spatial and geometric skills. Your child is guaranteed to love this class.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">

In physics, after examining laws of motion, they will make predictions on pendulum movements and balloon races using scientific methods. During chemistry unit, our young scientists study chemical structures and bonds and will experiment on breaking the bonds of polystyrene. In biology, the students will investigate the anatomy of earthworms and discuss the habits and body systems of various creatures.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

This challenging class will impress upon the importance of money and architecture in our society today. The students will use a variety of mathematical skills including creating three-dimensional models, geometric vocabulary, the area and perimeter of shapes, working with a multitudes of tables and charts, and using computation in a meaningful manner with real-world results. The final product will be the construction of a free-standing city that the students have collaborated and created together. <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
