Science Tutoring

For early learners just beginning to explore the world through science.

• Focus Areas:

  • The five senses and how we use them to observe the world

  • Nature and animals, including seasons, plants, and weather

  • Introduction to basic materials and their properties

  • Recognizing patterns and asking simple "why" questions

• Learning Approach:
  Visual storytelling, movement-based activities, and hands-on object exploration

• Sample Activities:

  • Sorting natural vs. man-made materials

  • Water play and sensory exploration

  • Nature scavenger hunts and weather drawing journals

• Goals:
  Build foundational science vocabulary, encourage curiosity, and develop observation and comparison skills through fun, age-appropriate learning.

For learners ready to deepen their understanding of natural systems and the scientific process.

• Focus Areas:

  • Life cycles, habitats, food chains, and ecosystems

  • States of matter, properties of solids/liquids/gases

  • Earth systems: soil, water, rock cycle, and climate patterns

  • Energy and forces in everyday life (push/pull, gravity, heat)

  • Beginning to use the scientific method to explore and explain observations

• Learning Approach:
  Guided experiments, structured investigations, and journaling for observation and reflection

• Sample Activities:

  • Growing plants and recording their growth

  • Creating a weather tracker

  • Making a basic terrarium to explore habitats

  • Conducting a simple melting/freezing experiment

• Goals:
  Strengthen understanding of interdependent systems, introduce cause-and-effect logic, and connect classroom science to the real world through observation and experimentation.

For advanced learners preparing for high school science through deeper inquiry and applied knowledge.

• Focus Areas:

  • Forces and motion: friction, gravity, and Newton’s Laws

  • Electricity and magnetism: circuits, conductors, insulators

  • Chemistry foundations: atoms, mixtures, chemical changes, reactions

  • Ecology and environmental science: ecosystems, biodiversity, sustainability

  • Space and Earth systems: planetary motion, weather systems, Earth’s layers

  • Applying the full scientific method to design, test, and explain results

• Learning Approach:
  Independent and group-based inquiry, lab simulations, critical analysis, and data collection

• Sample Activities:

  • Designing and testing paper circuits or balloon-powered cars

  • Simulating chemical reactions (e.g., baking soda & vinegar)

  • Building a model of the water cycle or tectonic plates

  • Comparing renewable vs. non-renewable energy systems

• Goals:
  Prepare students for high school-level thinking by developing skills in hypothesis-testing, experimental design, and scientific communication. Chemistry and data analysis are introduced in engaging, age-appropriate ways.
