Science & Discovery   

The Homeschool Science Fair is a chance for the homeschool community to celebrate and encourage the love of science amongst students. From stars to skittles, students in grades K-12 will practice the scientific method to test hypotheses, perform experiments, record observations, and draw conclusions. All science projects will be presented in the form of a report, display board, and demonstration. They will be on display to share with other students, parents and judges for prize consideration. Prizes will be awarded by grade, and students can choose to participate without prize consideration (non-competing students will receive participation certificates). All students welcome!  Registration closes on May 19th.  The supply fee covers medals and materials.  There is a 10% multiple student discount

Please let the instructor know if you are willing to keep the baby chicks once hatched as we need to give these new babies a safe home that is ready for them.  Normally the class starts with about 12 eggs and the hatch success rate is 40-60%
 

Students will have the opportunity to explore the microscope. While learning how to use a microscope, students will examine pre-made slides. They will also conduct simple, fun science experiments at various stations that are age-appropriate.

Wild things in wild places are the focus of this TEKS aligned program where students learn how to identify San Antonio wildlife, wildlife habitats, and wildlife safety. This program is reinforced through many hands on activities including nature guides, animal pelts, and replica wildlife skulls.
