About This Course

CYCLE 2- July 17th -21st

Kids will learn while having fun performing blood types, identifying bacteria, using medical laboratory equipment, designing their version of an animal or a plant cell, playing Mr. Nose Sneezes and enjoy other games and activities.

Each day will be a different theme and your young medical scientists will be required to wear a different color for each day. Each day will involve an interactive game, a short video (at most 15 minutes), reading, and performing a lab procedure. A different laboratory equipment will be used each day. Each week will end with a 1 hour show whereby students will perform or display something they did during the week. Parents or guardians will be invited to attend. During this show we’ll present your medical scientists with a small token.

Battling Bacteria

Yellow will be our theme color on this day. They're not all bad. Yes, some bacteria are necessary for us to maintain good health. We'll find out about some big name famous bacteria that can get us sick and those that keep us healthy.

Harboring Good Health

Preventative health is not common in our culture, most only see a doctor when they're too sick to take care of themselves. We want to help juniors maintain a strong and healthy life by giving simple tips for development of healthy habits.
