Science Explorers is a FUN elementary science program for elementary aged students, grades K-6th. Try a class for FREE! Just message us here or email docreid@thinkingreeds.com to let us know you're coming.
Classes will cover the worlds of physics, chemistry, and biology in alternating 5 week units. Each week, we'll do a 'deep dive' into a specific topic, such as magnetism, static charge, or chemical reactions. Every single hands-on class will be packed with activities, experiments, and demonstrations to ignite the imagination and maximize the potential of your future scientist!
