For the Homeschool students there are two different classes to choose from. The Science Discoverers Class will be taught at the student's level of understanding. This will be a basic learning of scientific concepts for the 2nd-3rd grader. For the 4th grader there will be more opportunities to expand upon certain concepts. However, whatever the grade the student Mr. Little will challenge them with "Higher Level" learning. For the 5th-7th grade student Mr. Little specifically designed a class called Science investigators, "SI" for short. This class will focus on more advanced and complex scientific concepts. Also, Mr. Little will encourage teamwork through TeamThink and brainstorming in many of their investigations. SI will be a more advanced class compared to Scientific Explorers.
