The best way to learn and understand science is through fun, exciting, hands-on experiments. This is the basis for Wonderama's classes. Our classes take a serious look into specific areas of science. Each class incorporates the scientific method of experimentation into its hands-on activities through programs five to ten hours in length. Students focus on a theme, allowing the instructor to concentrate student efforts on activities and information in that area. Each fascinating activity is selected to match the ages and abilities of participants, thereby drawing them into the material. These classes are appropriate for many types of students, including at-risk, home schooled or gifted. We offer quality classes that make learning fun, and provide, through the instructors, mentoring to students.
Each program offers some flexibility for modification into your curriculum. Wonderama classes are appropriate for community centers, schools or any other youth group. You can provide a meaningful experience to students by selecting classes suited to their needs. Classes usually hold between 8 and 16 students, but special arrangements can be made for larger or smaller groups. We work with you to make the program a success at your facility.
Please call or e-mail for further information, comments or scheduling. Parents interested in more details on a class's description or activities should contact their local community center or connect to our CLASS DESCRIPTIONS, for the information.
