Here are all the topics covered by the e-Science program. Some topics take only a couple of weeks to complete, while others can take several months. Remember, your own goals for your child’s science learning combined with your schooling philosophy will determine what is right for you. In any case, there are hundreds and hundreds of activities, experiments and projects, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding good stuff to work on and learn from!
If you have any questions about what units you have access to, please contact us. See a unit or two you’d like to do but don’t yet have access to? Just drop us a note and we’ll arrange special access to it for you. You’re the reason we’re here and I really want you to really get all you can out of e-Science.

Overview of e-Science?
There are 18 key scientific principal, 10 of which kids must master before they hit college.
The Scientific Method
Tips & Tricks
Learn how to formulate scientific questions and investigate answers methodically like as a real scientist.
Unit 1: Mechanics
Force,Gravity and Friction
Newton did his early work on his Three Laws of Motion, which still hold true today.
Unit 2: Motion
Velocity and Acceleration
A crash-course in projectile rnotion as you throw, swing, zoom, drop, roll, and tangle with Newton's laws.
Unit 3: Matter
Atom, Density, and Solids
Atoms are impossibly small yet absolutely vital for all matter and all interaction between matter.
Unit 4: Energy 1
Pulley and Lovers
Discover the magic of rnechanical advantage as you build sirnple rnachines to lift, pull, and hoist.
Unit 5: Energy 2
Potential and Kinetic Energy
Learn about the two categories of energy by building roller coasters, bobsleds, cannons, and catapults.
Unit 6: Sound
Vibrations and Resonance
Investigate sonic wave energy by creating air horns, buzzing hornets, and harmonicas.
Unit 7: Astrophysics
Astronomy, Particle Physics, & Relativity
What we're going to study borders on sci-fi weird, but it's the same stuff real scientists are studying.
