HOS (Hands on Science)

Hands-on Science (HOS) encourages learning by doing. This form of education encourages children to experience science by participating in experiments. This allows the child to take facts learned in books and places it in their real world, physical space. It is one thing to read about a theory, it’s another to prove it. In HOS the children work in 4 week units. Each week the process builds on itself, taking a complex concept and breaking it down into a fun and exciting project.In teaching science, HOS benefits the child by allowing them to engage in a multilevel learning experience, while reveling in the joy and excitement of making things happen. The children get to create and explore with their hands, then see the results of their own work. This encourages learning by doing.
