This program will introduce students to the scientific method and develop their knowledge and skills in the realm of the Physical Sciences in Chemistry and Physics. They will study and conduct experiments regarding: Study of Motion (Uniform vs. Non-Uniform motion); Study of Matter (Properties of Metals/Non-Metals/Ionic Compounds/Molecular Compounds/Acids); Dynamics (Ramp-Acceleration); Physical and Chemical Change (Factors that determine melting points of various molecular compounds). Students will write a lab report for each experiment and will receive personalized feedback to aid and improve further studies. 

The General Physical Science laboratory seminar offered through WISDOM Home Schooling is designed to prepare students to be successful in senior level Chemistry and Physics courses. To that end, this lab seminar will serve as a prerequisite for Senior Chemistry Lab Seminar, Senior Physics Lab Seminar, and Biology 30 Seminar.

This program will introduce students to the scientific method and develop their knowledge and skills in the realm of Biology. They will study and conduct experiments regarding: Scientific Method (Rate of Fermentation of Sugar); Evolution (from a Christian perspective); Photosynthesis; General Anatomical Systems (Fetal Pig Dissection); and Respiratory System (Pulmonary Function Testing). Students will write a lab report for each experiment and will receive personalized feedback to aid and improve further studies. 

This program will the develop student’s understanding and skills with the scientific method in the realm of Biology as they study and conduct experiments regarding: The Neurological System (Dissection of Sheep’s Brain); Endocrine System, Reproductive System (Pregnant Sow Reproductive Tract Dissection); Genetics. This lab seminar could serve as a support to the Biology 30 course credit challenge.

This program will further expose students to the scientific method and develop their knowledge and skills in the realm of Chemistry. They will study and conduct experiments regarding: The Ideal Gas Law (Measuring change of volume due to a change in pressure); Stoichiometry (Combustion of H2 and O2) to build rockets; Titration (Strong Acid with Strong Base); and Calorimetry (Enthalpy of Neutralization). Students will write a lab report for each experiment and will receive personalized feedback to aid and improve further studies. 

This program will further expose students to the scientific method and develop their knowledge and skills in the realm of Physics. They will study and conduct experiments regarding: Kinematics (Projectile Motion); Centripetal Force; Electric Fields (Drawing of equipotential lines); Optics (Manipulating the various factors in the production of images through mirror and lens). 

The Senior Physics laboratory seminar offered through WISDOM Home Schooling and The Gilbertine Academy is designed to be a self-enclosed program. Students who are not currently studying Physics 20/30 for course credit can benefit from this program. The Senior Physics laboratory seminar can also be used for 15% of their portfolio in their Physics 20 course credit challenge and/or 15% in their Physics 30 course credit challenge. 

To enrol in this lab seminar it is required that students would have successively completed at least one of the following WISDOM Home Schooling Lab Seminar programs: Biology 20; Physics 20/30; Chem 20; Physics 20/30; General Physical Science.
