About this course

Science Launch K is a 12-week online science course. Each week explores one question with short daily lessons, a hands-on investigation using household materials, quick checks that give a hint before the answer, and a Saturday Launch Lab the family does together, with a debrief note for the grown-up.

Kids will

  • Build observation habits: describe what you see, measure when you can
  • Frame a question as a hypothesis (introductory)
  • Run a controlled experiment safely at home
  • Record results in a science notebook
  • Connect each week's experiment to a real-world phenomenon
  • Present a finding to a parent in 60 seconds
