Science 6

Course Description

Science 6 continues the spiral of science education by covering earth science, physical science, and biology. Our changing earth, the far-reaching solar system, and concepts of physics are made more understandable by hands-on activities, encouraging the student to see for himself the processes that are at work. Classification, cell structures, and systems of plants, animals, and people help students understand living things from a different perspective. This course encourages your student not only to learn about science but also to be a part of the scientific discovery process.

Meet the Instructor

Mrs. Sherri Vick, BS

Mrs. Sherri VickSherri Vick previously taught various elementary and junior high grades. "I like to look at the picture as a whole—to relate one subject to another so that the child can see how God’s plan fits together. I want the child to want to learn, so the lessons have to be fun. Hands-on is the best way, so I don’t want the student to just watch, but participate too! One of my goals is that, after watching the lessons, your child will continue in the things he has learned and develop lifelong learning skills that he can use both now and in the future."
