Crime Scene Investigators/Electronics for Kids
Tutor: Cindy Downes Email: cindy@me.com
Grades: 3-6 Class Limit: 3-10 Time: Thursdays 1:30PM-2:50PM
Textbook: None

Supply Fees: $60.00
Total Class Fees: $405.00 – 9 Monthly Payments of $45.00 as follows:
Tutor: $28.00/month payable to tutor
Operational Fee: $17.00/month payable to CTC
Semester 1 will introduce kids to the world of forensic science and law enforcement. Using fun, hands-on activities students will learn how police investigate crimes, collect evidence, and catch those crooks! Students will "solve" crimes by comparing fingerprints to catch a thief, unscrambling a coded message to stop a spy, analyzing handwriting to check for forgery, investigating soil samples to help a farmer, and identifying leaves to find a truck involved in a car accident. And that’s just the beginning. Each week, there will be a new crime to solve! Semester II will introduce kids to the world of electricity. Using hands-on projects, students will learn how electricity works, how it's made, how it travels, and how it's used in communications. Students will build circuits, a Morse code transmitter, a steady-hand game, and other fun projects that explore electronics. Supply fee covers all in-class project supplies and handouts. Parents are responsible for supplies used for projects done at-home. Students may be added mid-year with tutor's permission.

This course includes both Life Science - Plants and American History. Class time will not be spent reading the text or playing catch up for unfinished work. Instead, I will use our class time to engage the students in conversation, role-playing scenarios, specific videos, review and hands-on projects. This class incorporates reading, worksheets, assessment, reports, on-line activities and projects. Supply fee includes all books, class projects, hand-outs, and notebooks. Parents will be responsible for at home project supplies. Students may be added mid-year with tutor’s permission. This information can be updated at the tutor’s discretion.

Exploring Creation with Biology is a Christian-based, rigorous, college preparatory course in Biology that will cover most of the textbook at a rate of one module every two weeks. Topics covered include cellular function, DNA, classification, genetics, evolutionary theory, ecology, and organisms from Kingdom Monera, Protista, Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae. Because the course is difficult and not all children learn the same, the material is presented in a variety of learning styles including PowerPoint presentations, videos, lectures, hands-on activities, labs and worksheets. This will ensure the success of every student who does the required homework. Grades are based on class participation, labs, homework, and test scores. Supply fee covers handouts, consumable lab supplies and dissection specimens. Students may be added mid-year with tutor’s permission.
