WISDOM Science Laboratory Seminars
New and Improved for 2025-2026!
Register early; limited spots available.
WISDOM Science Laboratory Seminars offer hands-on, experiment-driven learning to deepen students' understanding of key scientific principles. With updated content for 2025-2026, these engaging seminars provide essential lab experience in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, supporting course credit challenges and advanced studies. Spaces are limited—register early!
General Physical Science Lab Seminars
(5 sessions-Sept. to Jan) This program will develop the student’s understanding and skills with the scientific method in the realm of Introductory Chemistry and Physics as they study and conduct experiments regarding Matter and Motion. This lab seminar will serve as the prerequisite for the Senior Chemistry and Physics Lab Seminar.
Senior Physics Lab Seminars
(4 sessions-Feb. to June) This program further develops the student’s understanding and skills with the scientific method as they study and conduct experiments regarding: Kinematics; Dynamics; Electrical Fields; and Optics. This lab seminar could serve as a support to the Physics 20 and/or Physics 30 course credit challenge. (Prerequisite: General Physical Science Lab Seminar)
Senior Chemistry Lab Seminars
(4 sessions-Feb. to June) This program will further develop the student’s understanding and skills with the scientific method as they study and conduct experiments regarding: Ideal Gas Laws; Stoichiometry; Titrations; and Calorimetry. This lab seminar could serve as a support to the Chemistry 20 and/or Chemistry 30 course credit challenge. (Prerequisite: The General Physical Science Lab Seminar)
Biology 20 Laboratory Seminars
(4 Sessions-Sept. to Jan.) This program will develop the student’s understanding and skills with the scientific method in the realm of Biology as they study and conduct experiments regarding: Evolution (from a Christian perspective); Photosynthesis; General Anatomical Systems (Fetal Pig Dissection); and Pulmonary Functioning. This lab seminar could serve as a support to the Biology 20 course credit challenge.
Biology 30 Laboratory Seminars
(4 Sessions-Feb. to June.) 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 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 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.
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.
