Take a look at all the topics Explorers students investigate in Saturday Series courses!
Electricity
Students sources of light, effects of materials on light, and color. They will also conduct experiments related to areas of static and current electricity.
Astronomy and Space
Explorers students will learn about the origin, evolution of our sun, planet solar system and space exploration in order to discover our place in the universe.
Biology
DAPCEP STEM activities for Kindergarteners help Explorers students will explore topics that include parts of plants, photosynthesis, plant and animal cells, and the human body systems.
