Frequently Asked Questions

Eye of a Scientist has created a homeschool research-methods program for young children that includes physics, biology, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Ecology, Neuroscience, and Environmental science hands on projects and experiments that follow a structured guideline using the scientific method. 

Eye of a Scientist loves the community built through homeschool parental engagement and encourages parents to facilitate their child's needs during class as all students will participate performing their own individual experiments. Support and extra sets of hands is something we all value during lessons and engages a closer sense of community within the classroom. I enjoy for parents to be part of the learning process. Some parents often go for a walk or take a small break with their younger/older child and these actions can also benefit the group. Whether you want to sit and assist or stand back and do some side work, its all ok with me. 

Groups are divided into PreK/K (4-5 years old), Lower Elementary (5-7 years-old), Higher Elementary (8-10 years-old), and Middle school (11-14 years-old). I am flexible and understand how some students may better fit in the introductory younger classes or be ready for more challenging classes. Please discuss with me your child's needs if you have any concerns and/or suggestions for their scientific growth. 

Each science experiment session is accompanied with a lesson summary and a follow up activity that can be performed at home to reinforce the research and science topic concepts learned in class
