Curriculum & Educational Approach
What makes Little Beakers Sandy different from other kids' science programs?
Little Beakers provides authentic laboratory experiences in a permanent Sandy facility, not mobile demonstrations or entertainment venues. Every child conducts experiments using professional equipment, lab coats, and safety glasses. The curriculum was developed by aerospace chemist Dr. Cinttya Morgan and covers 7,000+ unique experiments across chemistry, physics, biology, and more—far exceeding the scope of typical children’s science programs.
Do Sandy classes align with Utah education standards?
Yes, the curriculum aligns with Utah standards for science education. Homeschool programs provide complete transcripts documenting credit hours and topics covered. Teachers and homeschool families use these classes to supplement classroom learning, prepare for standardized tests, and fulfill hands-on laboratory requirements that traditional classrooms often cannot provide.
What scientific topics are covered in Sandy science classes?
The comprehensive curriculum spans chemistry (polymers, reactions, molecular structures), physics (forces, motion, energy), biology (cellular structures, ecosystems, anatomy), microbiology (bacteria, microscopy), and electrochemistry (circuits, conductivity). Each program level introduces age-appropriate concepts through hands-on experimentation rather than passive observation, building scientific literacy and critical thinking skills.
How do dissection classes benefit my child's education?
Dissection classes develop observation skills, scientific methodology, and biological understanding that reading or videos cannot provide. Students learn anatomical structures, comparative biology, and proper scientific documentation. These experiences particularly benefit students interested in medicine, veterinary science, or biological research careers. Trained scientists guide each dissection with appropriate context and respect for the specimens.
