Sci 48 M Intro Science

Merit Academy’s science program offers an introduction to spiders, insects, amphibians, and reptiles. The children learn what differentiates each group by their anatomy, reproduction, feeding, and life cycles. By reading books, singing songs, and watching documentaries, the children are able to discuss the similarities and differences between insects and spiders, and between amphibians and reptiles. The children conduct hands-on examinations of a variety of spiders, insects, amphibians, and reptiles. They build homes for and feed their subjects. The children will play computer games to learn about their habitat, what they eat, and where they live. At four years of age, Merit Academy pre-kindergarteners begin to explore the world of spiders, insects, amphibians, and reptiles.
