"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

Chemistry / Physical Science Lab Intensive (ages 12-18)

Day #1, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Day #2, 9:00 am - 12:00 noon

​

Academic credit: 1 year of Chemistry / Physical Science Labs

​

Student age: 12-18

​

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites.
Appropriate background information is presented prior to and during each lab that is performed. This lab intensive can be attended:

- Before a student takes Chemistry

- While a student is taking Chemistry

- Or after a student has taken Chemistry

 

When taking a Chemistry class after attending our Lab Intensive, the class material will be much easier to comprehend - because students already understand the application of what they're learning in classes. For students who have taken a Chemistry class prior to our Lab Intensive, these labs will bring their book knowledge to life.

 

Teacher: Greg Landry, homeschool dad (and grandad), author, and former college professor with over 20 years teaching experience.

​

Lunch and snack breaks: We'll take a lunch break and morning and afternoon breaks. Students should bring a brown bag lunch, a bottle of water, and snacks.

​

Travel to intensive: Some families are able to commute from home each day but most families find local overnight accommodations - some of them at the hotel where the lab intensive is held. The lab intensives are usually held in the meeting room of a hotel - typically a Hilton Garden Inn or Hampton Inn. When you register, we'll email you with all details.

 

What is provided to students: As part of our Chemistry Lab Intensive each student will receive instruction, all supplies, a lab manual, an apron, colored pencils, timer, etc.

​

Who can attend: In the interest of students, our lab intensives are for registered students only - not parents, siblings, friends, etc.
 

"Lab Moms" - We have a couple of "lab mom" volunteer spots available (for moms who have a student registered) to help during those 1.5 or 3 days - no science knowledge required. :)  If you would like to be considered for a spot, the two criteria are:
 

1) you are able to be there all of the 1.5 or 3 days (depending on if you're student is doing one or both lab intensives).
2) you don't have other children with you.
If you meet those two criteria and you have an interest in volunteering as a "lab mom," we would be glad to consider you for a "lab mom" spot - but we can't guarantee a spot.  If you would like to be considered, please greg@collegeprepscience.com after you register.

​

What should student's bring? A basic calculator (not on a phone), a brown bag lunch, snack, and bottle of water each day. Students may bring a phone to take photos but are asked to only take it out for photos and on breaks.

​

Email reminder: We'll send you email 6 weeks prior to the intensive reminding you of the dates, time, and location, etc.

​

Students Will...

​

- Students will learn how to collect data appropriately and prepare and critique quality lab reports.
- Students will record their experiment data, graphs, etc. in their lab manual. We'll also discuss the critical importance of graphing to develop 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 and successfully handling college academics.. and how to relate to their professors and peers in college and beyond. We'll also discuss what they should be doing now to achieve their future goals! It's days packed with learning, fun, and fellowship. 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.

​

Laboratory Topics Covered...

​

Students will record and analyze quantitative and qualitative experimental data, graphs, etc. in their lab manual.

​

Topics covered:

- Introduction to scientific thinking

- Collecting data & producing a quality lab report

- Oscillating chemical reactions

- The Tesla Coil - Lightening in the lab
- Pendular motion

- Atoms and matter

- Elements, moles & periodic table

- We'll use a Van De Graaff generator to study electricity.

- Density and chemistry

- Chemical kinetics

- Conservation of angular momentum with a human turntable

- Colligative properties in chemistry

- Freezing point depression

- Chemical polymers & surface area

- Metric system and chemical applications

​

- Students will learn to follow detailed experimental procedures.

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 beyond. 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 two lab intensive with a lab manual of data representing their work.

"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!."
