MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE

Live Classes with Lari Jo Edwards 

We’ve got you covered when it comes to Middle School Science! All of our Science classes are taught by Lari Jo Edwards, the Science Education Specialist here at A Charlotte Mason Plenary.

Lari Jo has a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology from Texas A&M University and a Master of Science degree in Ecological Teaching and Learning from Lesley University. She is an expert in the Charlotte Mason method of teaching Science and Nature Study and she is a Charlotte Mason homeschooling mom! You can learn more about Lari Jo and her credentials here.

CLASS DESCRIPTION FROM LARI JO:

Middle School Science spirals throughout grades 6 to 8; this means that rather than attempting to master all of the learnings within a subject (i.e. Biology, Physical Science, Earth and Space Science) in one year, students will explore elements of each discipline throughout each of their three years in middle school. This creates a more firm foundation for specialization in High School.
