What began as one
parent's vision has become a dynamic, innovative, and award
winning project. Through ExploreLAB, parents and teachers
partner together to supplement the science education of students
by providing hands-on experiences in addition to those provided
in the classroom. We are proud to say that in its first year,
ExploreLAB was recognized by the Association of Christian
Schools International as an Exemplary School Program (Christian
School Education, ACSI, Vol. 6, Issue 5, May 2003. www.acsi.org
) But we are not resting on our laurels.
Every year the program has expanded, and is part of the curriculum
from preschool through 6th grade..
Here is a partial
list of what students will explore this year:
- Children's Garden
- Force and Motion
- Plant Power
- Matter

- Simple Machines
- Rocks and Minerals
- Mixtures and Solutions
