Homeschool Friday Labs are Back!

Similar to what I was able to offer at MCC, but a few miles down the road and a tad later in the afternoon.....

Here is the fall schedule.  Classes do not repeat within one year as Genetics, Anatomical Survey and Env. Chemistry II are still coming later this year.  

MICROSCOPIC BIOLOGY

This course consists of 12 hours (over 6 weeks) of high school 

level biology microscope exercises and related 

discussions. Lab work will include lessons in lab safety,

microscope work (including making and staining slides), and

microscopic life. Each student will make their own lab

notebook of algae, protists, and microscopic life forms and

learn how to use a biologic key. Students should be

currently studying High School Biology and be prepared to do

some reading in between classes. These labs follow every

major curriculum's requirement for microscopic work. 

This class is perfect for those using Apologia's Biology course.  

Additional Lab fee of $20 for materials will need to be paid

to instructor (for live specimens) waived if you can bring your own decent microscope!

ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY 

This course consists of 12 hours (over 6 weeks) of high

school level chemistry laboratory exercises and related

environment. Lab work will include lessons in lab safety,

precipitates, endo and exothermic reactions, chromatography,

and more. Students should be currently studying High School

Chemistry and be prepared to do some reading in between
