Ian decided he wanted to take some classes at the co-op Shannon had joined in the fall. The winter session goes from January 9th to March 13th. Shannon had originally chosen to take a Great Books class that was canceled due to low enrollment so she joined Ian in the Lego Challenge class. They both signed up for the first part of the Elementary Chemistry class.
In the Lego class everyone was given time to build for fun and then were given a challenge for them to attempt. One challenge was for them to build a boat that floats. All the boats were then tested. I'm happy to report that both Shannon and Ian had a blast.
The chemistry class was led by a mom who is a chemist and the materials were taken from the Real Science Odyssey Chemistry 1 curriculum. The kids had some homework every week involving some assigned reading, or watching a video, or a worksheet. In the class Shannon and Ian did one or two experiments per class.
