  Course Description

  Course Objective: This class is a Biology and Chemistry class for Middle school students. This class help students to be ready for high school Biology and Chemistry class and also help students to prepare middle school Science Bowl in the subjects of Biology and Chemistry.

  The course will begin with biology topics in Fall term and then continute to Chemistry topics in Winter Spring term, with a focus alignining with middle school science bowl topics. 

  The curriculum is flexible per student background and interests and we will use questions from Science Bowl as practice.

  Prerequisite: PreAlgebra

  Textbooks:
  Life Science by Prentice Hall (for Biology);
  Physical Science by Prentice Hall (for Chemistry)

  The PDF file of the textbook will be loaded to the class page before the term starts.

2025 Summer Camps

Note: Half-day camps can be combined as full-day camps from 8:30am-5pm.

• Week 2 (07/14-07/18)

  Life Science Camp for Grade K-2

  07/14 to 07/18  5 half day Monday-Friday 1:00pm-4:00pm $250/camp Location: 16100 NW Cornell Road Suite 210 Room 1

  Course Description

  Sunshine Elite Life Science Camp for Grade K-2

  We believe that every child is a scientist and that we can make children grow and become even better scientists!

  Our life science camp adopts New Jersey standard for elementary science education plus unique Sunshine Elite style to foster creative thinking throughout hand-on experiences and research topics.

  We will discuss and work on the following topics:

  Life Cycle, Ecosystem

  Understanding of the life-cycles of various creatures and plants in order to understand the world around      us and to connect ourselves with nature

  Understanding of the interdependence of living organisms in their environment

  (1) Understanding of the impact of human activities on the environment

  
  (2) Plant genetics and field trips to Natural Park/Greenhouse

  (3) Research Topic: How animals, such as Monkey, Elephant, mice communicate?

  (4) Human Body Systems - various organs, systems and their fuctions in human body

  (5) Study Human body cells under microscope : To Understand that all living organisms are composed of cells; understand that cells grow and divide to form many cells which perform specialized functions

   

  Learning basic building blocks of conducting scientific research (HOW TO THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST): 

  1. Aims : choosing the right question or aim of the investigation
  2. Hypothesis:  Make a guess on the outcome of the results
  3. Experiments or literature review: planning how to collect information or data

• Week 3 (07/21-07/25)

  Middle School Science Bowl Camp 1

  07/21 to 07/25  5 half day Monday-Friday 1:00pm-4:00pm $250/camp Location: 16100 NW Cornell Road Suite 210 Room 5

  Course Description

  This is the first of two weeks of Middle School Science Bowl camps. Each week will cover different topics and practice questions. This camp will primarily focus on Physics, Energy, and Math. While attending both weeks is ideal, students are welcome to join either week individually.

  Middle Science Bowl Camp

  Launched in 1991, the National Science Bowl (NSB) is a highly competitive science education and academic event among teams of high school and middle school students. Students will face off in a fast-paced, question-and-answer format, and to be tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, earth and space science, physics, energy, and math. The winner of the academic portion of the Regional Science Bowl wins an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington DC to compete in the National Science Bowl.

  This is a great opportunity for students who are passionate about science and engineering to show off their talents in this academic competition. In preparing middle school Science Bowl Competition, schools will select students to form teams in fall and train the teams for regional competition in February.

  We designed 2-week of middle school Science Bowl Summer Camp which will lead students going through several STEM Texts and practicing middle school sample questions provided by National Science Bowl® (NSB), preparing students for their schools’ Science Bowl team selection in fall.

• Week 5 (08/04-08/08)

  Science Olympiad Camp for Grade 3-5

  08/04 to 08/08  5 half day Monday-Friday 1:00pm-4:00pm $250/camp Location: 16100 NW Cornell Road Suite 210 Room 8

  Course Description

  Science Olympiad Elementary Division - Grade 3-5

  This camp will introduce the Science Olympiad Division A events to students. https://www.soinc.org/programs/elementary

  This class will build up our young students’ curiosity and keen insight towards physical science and chemistry around our day to day life, the fundamental ability for the love of science.

  During this 5-days Camp, Students will go through the Science Olympiad events and complete several projects. Below are the sample projects we may work on:

  • Aerodynamics Aloft (How an airplane works)
  • Straw Tower (Build the tallest, most stable tower possible using drinking straws)
  • Operation Egg Drop (Pack and drop a raw egg from 2+ floors without breaking it)
  • Gunk (Chemistry: learn from experiments making the best glue)
  • Cool it (Heat transfer and insulation)
  • Building Bridges Event (Build a bridge using fixed amount of materials)
