Amazing Science creates a sense of wonder and excitement that encourages kids to explore the sciences while having great fun! Students are exposed to a different science topic each week, and are encouraged to be fearless and try everything!

With over 13 years of teaching science programs, Amazing Science now offers over 100 different, original science lessons for K thru 8th grade students! After School sessions, special events, assembly performances, in-school workshops, and group classes are available.

Amazing Science is available through our After School program (Jan through May and Sept through November), the Super Cool Summer School (4 weeks in June-July) and by special arrangement.

About the Curriculum
Our curriculum is specifically designed to advance students in science, and includes scientific methodology and critical thinking skills that will serve as the foundation for all future learning.

Curriculum is age appropriate: older students lessons are more advanced and complex. Many topics are from the 5th through 12th grade California State curriculum; others are college level subjects adjusted for k thru 8 grade comprehension.

All experiments are kid safe and fully supervised.

Amazing Science has over $10,000 in materials and equipment available to the Program!

Our teaching staff and Advisory Board, led by Program Director Elena Belsky, includes Physicists, Chemists, Marine Biologists, Anthropologists, Electrical Engineers, and more, providing an incredible ability to teach all disciplines of science. The team creates original curriculum, specializing in hands-on projects, experiments and demonstrations for our students.
