"all those kids having so much fun"

"Greg, what a refreshing change it was to see all those kids having so much fun with high school science. And, it was so wonderful to get so much done in two days. Katie didn't know what to expect but loved the experience. She said you immediately put them at ease and the time flew by. In fact, her first question to me after the second day was if she could do another intensive. Science in our household has been reinvigorated - thank you!."

Greetings Parents & Students,

As a homeschool dad and former college professor, I'm passionate about teaching science. In particular, Christ-centered science to homeschooled students. I have the privilege of interacting with students as we cover wide-ranging, fun labs, and the appropriate background information.

We also focus on building critical thinking skills and developing a research and inquiry mindset with the resulting quality lab reports and thinking skills that affect every area of academics and life. I believe we should think critically, deeply, creatively, and biblically." God is glorified as we explore His Creation... illuminating His Creation - revealing His glory!

Life Lessons & Stories from the Cadaver Lab

I also tell them lots of stories from my years teaching university students in a cadaver lab with real-life science applications and I'll talk to them about "life 101," working hard at what they do (Colossians 3:23), working toward academic excellence, and encouraging others (1 Thessalonians 5:11, Ephesians 4:29, Proverbs 12:25, Hebrews 10: 24-25, Proverbs 17:22, 1 Thessalonians 4:18). This lab experience is an interesting and enjoyable time of learning and growing.

Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Gratefully in His Grip,

Greg

Homeschool Dad & Former College Professor

"I dropped him off that morning and he was pouting"

_________

"Greg, My son Mark attended your two day Biology Lab Intensive. He's in 8th grade and hasn't been especially interested in science. I asked him if he wanted to attend your intensive and he said no. I told him he was going to because we needed to get his labs done and this was a good way to do that."

"I dropped him off that morning and he was pouting. I picked him up that afternoon and he talked incessantly on the way home (this is my quiet child). It not only amazed me that he was so excited about science but that he loved doing this all day for two solid days. That kind of excitement in a child brings so much joy to a mother's heart. He also loved your 'real life lessons' talk. Thank you so much Greg for your ministry to our children!"

Beth (a grateful mom)

__________

"Mr Landry, Timmy came home so excited about the first day of your Biology lab intensive. Hi can't wait for tomorrow. Thanks for making kids excited about science!"Jess in Texas

__________

"I wanted to let you know all's well that ends well! The boys made it up to Raleigh to catch a jam-packed afternoon of dissections and the overwhelming consensus in the car on the the way home was that it was the best lab any of them had ever attended! My son said that he could now officially say he has delivered his first baby...lamb, who knows where this will lead! we are very fortunate to have access to such great opportunities!"

__________

"My daughter Beth loved your intensive. She is my artsy child and begged me not to make her go. In her words, 'these will be two miserable days'. She got home after the first day, walked in the house, and her first words to my husband and I were 'I love chemistry'. At first, we thought she was kidding. She wasn't!"

__________

"My children, Logan, attended your science intensive for Biology while you were here. Logan was so excited and Taylor was the kicking and screaming one. She really never kicks and screams, but her attitude was not one of complete willingness. Anyway, they both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have continued to talk about it and show off their "deliveries" to anyone who will look at them! Fun, fun, fun!!! I love it:-)"

__________

"Greg, ...your orientation toward training students to be researchers and critical thinkers is just what our girls needed. It has also spilled over into how they approach history and literature..."

Carol

__________

"The signal is very limited but what text messages I'm getting are full of the words 'great', 'fun', and 'amazing!' Lily is so glad she was able to attend. Thank you Greg Landry, for spearheading such a fabulous endeavor, benefiting our nation's homeschooling community. It knits us together from coast to coast, across the entire USA!"

__________

"Greg, your two day science intensive labs have been such a blessing to our family. They absolutely loved every one they did and we never could had that kind of in depth experience anywhere else as homeschoolers. I feel so much better about their science preparation for college. Also, thanks for spending time talking with me about their other science courses."

What is Considered a High School "Science Lab"?

Most colleges and state requirements want to see science labs that include:

1. A student participating (interacting) in the lab they're working on - either in person or in an interactive virtual lab (rather than just watching a video, for example).

2. A student following (and documenting) a systematic "method" or "procedure" to complete the lab.

3. A student collecting data and / or recording observations from the lab they're working on. This is typically recording results, numbers, observations, etc. and is included in a data table and graphic presentation of results.

4. A student writing a full, formal lab report on the lab they've completed. It should include statement of purpose, background information, hypothesis, materials, method / procedure, results (data table and graphic presentation), hypothesis evaluation, errors or anomalous results, future research, and conclusion(s).

5. A minimum of six labs (for a science subject) in a school year completed with full, formal lab reports.

Our Lab Intensives Enable Students to Complete All 5 of These Criteria

What Will We Do?

- Students will learn how to collect data appropriately and prepare quality lab reports.

- Students will record their experiment data, graphs, etc. in their lab manual. We'll also discuss the importance of graphing to develop process reasoning and critical thinking skills that affect not only science but all aspects of life.

- Students will learn to think critically and deeply about scientific processes.

- We'll discuss what they need to know about high school academics, successfully handling college academics.. and how to relate to their professors and peers in college and life. We'll also discuss what they should be doing now to achieve their future goals! It's packed with learning, fun, and fellowship.

Laboratory Topics Covered
(depending on which lab intensive you attend - some combination of these, and more, will be covered)

- Students will experiment with the Foucault Pendulum movement and the Earth's rotation.
- We'll use a Van De Graaff generator to study electricity.
- We'll use a human turntable to experiment with circular momentum and the skater effect.
- Students will experiment with the a block and tackle system (multiple pulleys) to create a mechanical advantage.
- Students will study electricity with a Tesla Coil.

- We'll experiment to determine surface area using chemical polymers.
- We'll use a fun contest to study and experiment with changing density.
- Students will quantify changes in chemical kinetics.

- To study the respiratory system, we'll inflate preserved healthy and smoker's lungs to investigate anatomical and physiological differences
- Students will eat pop tarts, honey buns, etc. (or they can bring healthier food if they prefer) for breakfast to produce a "glucose load challenge" to help them understand the pancreas, glucose absorption, diabetes, normal and abnormal glucose response curves, and the production and function of insulin. (usually done in college level anatomy labs).
- We'll use Phenylthiocarbamide to study genetics
- We'll do experiments to study the cardiovascular system, anatomy, heart rate, hemoglobin saturation, etc.

- Students will learn how to prepare quality lab reports

- Students will learn to follow detailed experimental procedures.
- And more.

Real Life

We'll discuss what they need to know about high school academics and successfully handling college academics.. and how to relate to their professors and peers in college and life. We'll also discuss what they should be doing now to achieve their future goals!

I'll tell them cadaver lab stories and "real-life" life lessons from the college human anatomy lab. They'll work hard, laugh, talk about serious topics, have fun, and finish the lab intensive with a lab manual of data representing their work.

A God Honoring Perspective

"All 3 of my children absolutely loved this hands-on experience. For my older children, it enforced content they had already studied. For my youngest, it sparked interest and curiosity into content that is to come in his education. This is a wonderful way to immerse students into material that can be dull or hard to understand in text. It definitely engages all the senses and gives them an experience they won't soon forget. Most importantly - they learn about it all from a God honoring perspective that tells how wonderfully and awesome we are made in HIS image. THANK YOU for everything you pulled together!"
