The purpose of Natural Studies is simple. Natural Studies is a club composed of high school volunteers who teach fifth to sixth graders. The topics covered come from an a collection of experiments the Natural Studies crew has collected, adapted, and modified to better suit the learning experience of an elementary student.
There are four student- teacher groups in Natural Studies. Students switch study groups approximately once a month, allowing them to cover four selected topics. These topics are as shown below:
Introduction to Microscopy - elementary students have the priviledge of using microscopes with an objective of 1500X to view bacteria, fungi, pollen, and many other microscopic objects.
Biome Studies- students learn the general types of biomes, and explore living examples of several biomes.
Stimuli Studies: students learn the concept of stimuli and organism reactions. Worm and pillbugs are raised in this lab.
Plant tour- students view live examples of the common plants of Taiwan, both foreign and indigenous.
Our goal is simply to provide students with a supplementary science experience? Why? Because biology is fun, and because it's about time students realized this as well...
