HANDS-ON STEM, DISSECTIONS & ROBOTICS..
classes are the premium way for children to learn about science; not just see it being demonstrated and talked about, or to read about it in text books, but to actually touch it and experience it themselves (even students that opt for our virtual option will pick up their kit of materials at the beginning of each month).
To that end, Little Beakers founder and polymers chemist, Cinttya Morgan, has developed a comprehensive 3-level curriculum that covers all the sciences, caters to children of ages 6 to 16, and has both in-lab and virtual options.

Features
Learning gained from hands-on experimental activities will be enhanced through the use and/or the study of:
STEM, engineering & robotics projects
Microscopes and other lab equipment
Preserved specimens for dissections
Atoms and molecular building models
The periodic table
Key historical scientists and inventors
Real lab experiences / field trips for the older students
Complete transcript of material covered that can be used for credit provided upon request
Kits provided at the beginning of each month for students enrolled in our virtual classes
Three levels available
Elemental Level Particulars
Recommended for 6-9 year old OR for older students that need to cover all the basic science concepts.
Disciplines covered include chemistry, physics, physical-chemistry, biochemistry, biology, microbiology, electrochemistry and others.
A different group and its related elements from the periodic table of the elements to be featured each month.
One molecule to be built weekly.
Important scientists and their discoveries will be featured throughout the program.
Some STEM, engineering, and robotics projects will be performed throughout the program.
Simple dissections of preserved specimens will be conducted on a monthly basis.
Subatomic Level Particulars
Recommended for 10-13 year old or offered to students who have demonstrated a sufficient understanding of the concepts covered in the Elemental level.
In addition to the disciplines covered in Elemental, Subatomic level will have a stronger emphasis on physics, physical chemistry and microbiology, STEM, engineering, and robotics for the hands-on portion of the class.
Delves into more advanced chemistry and physics topics including reactions, molecular interactions and subatomic particle studies.
Periodic table and elements review throughout the program.
Subatomic particles and different elements to be featured monthly.
Intermediate level molecules to be built weekly.
Important inventors and their inventions will be featured throughout the program.
Intermediate-level dissections of preserved specimens will be conducted on a monthly basis.
Molecular Level Particulars
Recommended for 13 + age group or offered to students who have demonstrated a sufficient understanding of the concepts covered in the Elemental and Subatomic levels.
In addition to the disciplines covered in Subatomic, the Molecular level will look at advanced chemistry, physics, biochemistry, studying in great detail the chemical processes of living organisms.
Some advanced STEM, engineering, and robotic projects to be featured for the hands-on portion of the class.
Students will be introduced to, explore and research important present-day topics.
Students may participate in field trips where they will tour real lab facilities and chemical plants. They will get to practice quality control laboratory work and conduct research experiments in a real lab environment using real lab instrumentation and industrial processing apparatus.
