The final science course in the first year, for Step 1 students, ages 5-6. A hands-on approach to geology, weather and global problems that the student will find fun and informative.

What's a planet? What's a sun? How about a continent or an island? What is the Earth made of? What is air? What is rain, thunder and lightning? What are hurricanes and tornadoes? What should a person do when facing a natural terror like a tornado? What is pollution? And how do you teach a 5-6 year-old, or a student with no or little literacy, these things? Here's the answer! 18 lessons, about 10 weeks of study.
