After School Science Classes for Kids!

~ WINTER & SPRING SESSIONS 2013 ~

Amazing Science creates a sense of wonder and excitement that encourages kids to explore the sciences while having great fun! Students are exposed to a different science topic each week, and are encouraged to be fearless and try everything!

Two sessions of all different science lessons, unique and fun demos, hands-on projects and experiments in chemistry, physics, geology, and biology! Color exploding milk, test for pollution in water chemistry lab, shake with earthquakes, dig for fossils, “gold“ panning techniques, and more!

About the Curriculum
Our curriculum is specifically designed to advance students in science and includes scientific methodology and critical thinking skills that will serve as the foundation for all future learning. Classes are age appropriate; older student's lessons are more challenging and complex.

All experiments are kid safe and fully supervised. Amazing Science has over $10,000 in materials and equipment available to the Program!

Classes are taught by the Amazing Science Team: Elena Belsky, Sue Lattanzio, and Louis Nuyens.

Program Director Elena Belsky: is a longtime environmental educator, scientist and artist; she has been teaching children and adults in a wide variety of subjects for over 30 years. Team and Advisory Board members create original science curriculum for our Amazing Science students.

Special Workshops have included: the Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin Museum of the American Indian, The Discovery Museum, Marin Conservation Corps, International Archeological Conference, and the Marin County Free Library. We teach in-school workshops and perform assemblies throughout Marin's elementary schools.
