Outdoor Science and Art Classes
Hands-On Science and Jennifer Rowe Studio have teamed up to offer back-to-back outdoor science and art classes. You can enjoy over 4 hours to yourself if your child attends both!
Outdoor classes require much more flexibility than indoor classes. We will have to work around the weather and possibly smoky days. Please understand that we might need to cancel a class on the morning of class and make it up on one of our flex days.
For questions or to register, call Lisa at 530-313-3789 or email your child's name, grade, charter school name, and your phone number to lisahandsonscience@gmail.com.
I am a vendor with Horizon, Visions, Clarksville, The Cottonwood School, Feather River, South Sutter, American River Charter School, and Pacific Charter Institute (Heritage Peak, Sutter Peak, Rio Valley, & Valley View).

Earth Science
Grades 4-8 (mature 3rd graders with good attention spans and fine motor skills are welcome)
Class Fee: $188
Class Length: Five 2-hour classes (10 hours total)
Days/Time: Mondays, March 13, 20, 27, April 17, 24 (flex days: May 1, 8, 15, and 22)
Time: 9-11 a.m.
Location: Rescue - outdoor - Outdoor classes require much more flexibility than indoor classes. We will have to work around the weather. Please understand that we might need to cancel a class on the morning of class and make it up on one of our flex days.
Students will learn about the Earth's layers and how movement of the plates have shaped the Earth's surface over the past 4.5 billion years. They will create fault models to illustrate the three fault types, perform earthquake activities, and learn how a seismograph is used to measure movement. The rock cycle will be investigated using Starburst candy models to demonstrate sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock formation. Students will learn about the criteria used to identify minerals and perform various tests, use Skittles candies to observe weathering and erosion, and perform cupcake core sampling to learn how scientists study what is below the Earth's surface. (This class includes 10 of the 12 labs I teach at FLA.)

Zoology
Class is full as of 12/7/22, but you can be added to the waitlist in case students drop out.

Class Fee: $188
Class Length: Five 2-hour classes (10 hours total)
Days/Time: Mondays, March 13, 20, 27, April 17, 24 (flex days: May 1, 8, 15, and 22)

Students will explore the anatomy, physiology, and behavior of various animals. Some of the hands-on activities include performing earthworm behavior experiments (no worms will be harmed!), making body symmetry models, dissecting an owl pellet and clam, using echolocation boxes to observe how bats "see", performing bird behaviors, and sorting beans to understand classification. (This class includes 10 of the 12 labs I teach at FLA.)

Have you ever wanted to discover the mysteries of magic? Well, you can... it just takes a little science! In this engaging hands-on class, students will explore how center of mass, magnetism, light, friction, motion, inertia, gravity, heat, and optical illusions can be used to create fun magic tricks to mystify their friends and family. This is some physics fun in disguise!
