Students in the Physics Laboratory 2024-2025 seminar will gain experience in using the scientific method, laboratory skills, and lab write ups pertaining to Physics.

In Physics 20, students will conduct experiments in: The Scientific Method and gaining mastery in conducting measurements within experiments (toy car activity); Kinematics - the study of objects in motion without reference to forces (determining whether an object is exhibiting uniform or non-uniform motion using ticker tape); Dynamics - the study of position and velocity of objects and systems with reference to forces (calculating the coefficient of static friction of various materials); Circular Motion (creating and using a slingshot or catapult to launch an object); Wave Propagation (modelling wave propagation and analyzing its factors with gummy bears).

Our ballroom dance workshops are a great place to have fun while learning the basics of ballroom dancing. You will not only learn the basics - like how to waltz, rumba, fox trot and jive - instructors Mike and Michele Barter will also teach ballroom etiquette. These workshops have trained several generations of homeschoolers in the art of ballroom dance. Students and parents benefit from the training in social graces as well as the opportunity to spend time with other home schoolers. 

Parental participation is required.

Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a registered parent or guardian present at the workshop/ball.

Open to non-WISDOM families; WISDOM families take precedence.

Students in the Biology Laboratory 2024-2025 seminar will gain experience in using the scientific method, laboratory skills, and lab write ups. 

In Biology 30, students will: study the neurological system (cow or sheep brain and eye dissection); the endocrine system (case studies); the reproductive system (bovine organ dissection); molecular genetics (strawberry DNA extraction); and carry out meaningful exercises that will assist them in their diploma examination. 

Students in the Physics Laboratory 2024-2025 seminar will gain experience in using the scientific method, laboratory skills, and lab write ups pertaining to Physics.

In Physics 30, students will study and conduct experiments regarding: Momentum and Impulse (Conservation of Momentum in two dimensions); Forces and Fields (drawing Electric Force fields using equipotential lines); Optics (using an optical bench to study the properties of light); Atomic Physics (creating and analyzing models to understand the nature of an atom).
