Science Club

2026–2027 Theme: Think Like a Scientist – Discover the World of Chemistry!

 

In Science Club, students will learn how to answer questions by using the scientific method through exciting, hands-on experiments and activities. Throughout the year, our young scientists will explore the fascinating world of chemistry—the science of matter and how substances interact, change, and form new materials.

 

Each meeting will include engaging experiments such as observing chemical reactions, exploring the properties of matter, building simple models of atoms and molecules, and using basic lab tools like microscopes and measuring equipment. Students will also take part in STEM challenges and investigation-based activities inspired by their own scientific questions.

 

This club is designed to spark curiosity and develop a love for science while introducing foundational chemistry concepts in a way that is fun, visual, and interactive for young learners.

 

At every meeting, students will:

Conduct hands-on chemistry experiments

Practice the steps of the scientific method

Explore important chemistry concepts such as atoms, molecules, reactions, and energy changes

Participate in science games and collaborative challenges Develop skills in observation, problem solving, and critical thinking

 

Our goal is to introduce students to the exciting field of chemistry while encouraging them to think carefully about each step of scientific discovery. We want our young scientists to grow into innovators, problem solvers, and curious thinkers who are confident exploring the world around them!

Young Naturalist Club

The Young Naturalist Club at SEER invites curious students to explore the wonders of ecosystems and habitats during the 2026–27 school year. Through a blend of hands-on lab investigations and outdoor field experiences, students will discover how living things are connected within the food web.

 

Each month, participants will dive into close-up, microscopic perspectives before expanding their understanding to the broader, macroscopic world of real ecosystems. Students will keep nature journals, engage in interactive projects, and work toward meaningful semester-long creations that reflect their learning.

 

Field days are a special opportunity for the whole family to join in the experience, while lab days are reserved for students enrolled in the class. The 10:00 AM session is designed for children ages 3–12, and the 1:00 PM session is for students ages 6–15.

 

This full-year commitment is perfect for young explorers eager to observe, question, and connect with the natural world in a deeper way.

 

🧪 Twice the Nature Fun Every Month:

Nature Study & Nature Lab @ SEER – Dive into hands-on learning and experiments in our indoor lab. (Parents may drop off kids for this session.)

Field Adventures – Join us at local parks or wild spots for outdoor exploration and discovery. (Parents must stay and share the experience! Siblings are welcome)

Story Makers Book Club

StoryMakers Book Club is a monthly, family-centered book club designed to bring stories to life through creativity, conversation, and community. Meeting once a month at 11:15 AM—between our Young Naturalist programs—this unique gathering invites children of all ages and their parents to explore rich, living books together.

 

Each month, families will read a carefully selected book at home, then come together to share ideas, discuss themes, and participate in a hands-on project inspired by the story. Children will have the opportunity to express their thoughts, create something meaningful, and engage with literature in a deeper, more memorable way.

Jr. Explorer's Club
