Science surprises many people both in the reaction that can be seen AND the explanation behind it. It seems like magic, but it is really just science! This class continues to explore the wonder and science of our world through new topics, experiments, demonstration, and activities (different from previous classes). Topics for this class include magic/puzzles, geology/fossils, environmental science, and wildlife. Satisfy science-hungry students with science topics and experiments every class and take away ideas and guidance for science fair projects. Ages 6-10. 10.5 hrs
Instructor MARK EVERSON has a Masters of Education from UNM, in addition to a Master’s degree in Environmental Education and Forest Resources. He has over 20 years of experience teaching science and judging science fairs.

How many elements can you name? How many have you held in your hand? How can charcoal, diamonds, and graphite all be the same thing? Why do we use aluminum to build airplanes? Which metallic element can be cut with a knife, or is liquid in your hand? This class explores the elements discovery, their properties, and examples of how we use them in our everyday lives. Digital and hands-on resources will be used to understand the properties of the elements, depending on their safety for students of this age. Students will learn basic safety procedures and, if they want, begin their own collection of the periodic table of elements. A $15 supply fee payable to the instructor at the first class covers supplies for these experiments and projects. Ages 10-14. 10.5 hrs
