The Fall 2026 class session begins the week of October 12th and runs through November 20th. All classes will have an enrollment limit of 16 students. Courses cost $80 per student.
Youth Science Classes are non-profit, and we strive to keep costs as low as possible. For additional program information, please see the Science Outreach website at http://www.georgefox.edu/science_outreach or email the program at [email protected].
Refund Policy: A processing fee is applied to refunds that are requested before classes begin. Refunds may take 7-14 business days. We buy materials for each registrant before classes begin, therefore we are not able to issue a refund after classes have begun.
The following classes will be offered:
Ages 6 to 8 ($80.00)
Fridays 2:30-3:30pm, EHS Room 202
Teachers: Cameron & Eli
Enjoy a time of exploration outdoors and indoors! We’ll be exploring our backyard Hess Creek and the fascinating world of watersheds. Come learn about the plants and critters that live there, how to look for them yourself, and how it all comes together. Every watershed tells a complex story and leaves a mark on the world around it. In this class, you’ll discover how water, land, plants, animals, and people are all connected—and how what happens in one part of a watershed can affect everything downstream.
Ages 9-11 ($80.00)
Wednesdays 3:30-4:30, EHS Room 302
Teachers: Hannah & TJ
Get ready to discover the chemistry happening all around you! In this hands-on course, students will explore the science behind the materials, reactions, and everyday phenomena they encounter in the world around them. Through fun experiments and activities, students will explore matter, atoms, elements, chemical reactions, acids, and bases, and see what happens when chemistry gets put into action. Along the way, students will build scientific observation, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills while discovering that chemistry is everywhere.
Ages 12-14 ($80.00)
Wednesdays 2:30-3:30pm, EHS Room 225
Teachers: Ava & Eli
Join us as we journey deep into the microscopic world of cells! In this class, we will open new horizons beyond what the naked eye can see. We will see mitosis in action, see our own cells, extract our own DNA, and so much more. This class will help students think like scientists, execute lab procedures, and discover the wonders hidden beyond our senses.
Ages 15-17 ($80.00)
Mondays 11:00am-12:00am, EHS Room 203
Teachers: Ben & Taylor
In this course, students will be introduced to human anatomy and physiology through hands-on experiments. We will cover six major organ systems. Students will have the opportunity to explore these different systems through clinical applications such as learning to blood type and take blood pressure. The overall goal is not only to teach students about the major systems but also introduce them to the career pathways relating to the systems they will learn. Get ready to lean all about the human body and begin to explore future careers in healthcare!
