Science Adventure Club!

  Scroll down for class schedules...

Our Science Adventure Club classes are designed for students with a desire to learn about God’s creation. Science Adventure Club (SAC) meets every-other-week and features hands-on activities that demonstrate exciting science themes. Our classes give students an opportunity to take an active part in our Vier’s Ditch Research Project with our resident biologist and science teacher Cindy Julius. Click here to email Cindy.

Also, because our Vier’s Ditch research takes place outside around the creek, please have your child dress for the weather. Be prepared to get dirty!

In February, 2010, Science Adventure Club students made volcano models and filmed each model's baking soda and vinegar eruptions.
