The Life Science course includes classification, cells, life processes of organisms, genetics, the classic frog dissection and much more.

Life Science is generally taught to children at a seventh or eighth grade level and is interchangeable with earth science.  As with all of our courses, this is only a suggested age level.  There are no prerequisites for this course, but a general science course (GS I, II, or III) or similar background is suggested. and both younger and older children successfully complete this course.

It does not matter if Earth Science or Life Science is taken first.  We rotate 12 - 13 year olds from Earth Science to Life Science because these are traditionally Middle school subjects. 

Life Science is really a pre-biology class.  Students are introduced to dissection with a worm and frog.  Students perfect microscope techniques that they will use extensively in biology.

All of our courses except for Topics I and II have three versions available for purchase.  The standard course is roughly equivalent to what you will find in typical high school labs.  There are 14 labs which equates to about one lab every other week of a school year including breaks.  The deluxe course is designed for advanced students, students planning on science related fields, college prep students and simply those students that love Science.  We highly recommend the deluxe course as it is quite comprehensive including 30 labs or about one lab per week.  We also offer a short course which is essentially a sampler.  This gives you an opportunity to test a very scaled down version of our product for two months and covers 6 labs.  By its very design, the cost per lab is a bit higher and the experience is not nearly as complete as one of our other courses.

The standard and deluxe courses also have refill kits available to allow for up to four students total to take the course and divide the cost.  Please click the links to the left to review syllabi and complete parts list for each course.

To order, you will need to click on the order form at the top of every page and print it out.  This is because we need a physical signature on the disclaimer form at the bottom of the order form.  Thanks for understanding that we can not accept online orders. 

Pricing below is the fee per month for nine months except for the short course which is a one time only fee.
