Aim of the class:
This course is an introductory science course that is meant to give your child an overview of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. We will be using Exploring Science 7, a textbook used by many British schools. The course will move at a fast pace as it is meant to cover a full academic year of science over the course of 32 two-hour Saturday courses.
Why this course?
This course was co-developed by our founder Mark Hsu, who obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Stanford University, and Dr. Ivon Jou, our Academic Director, who holds a Bachelor of Medicine from Taipei Medical University. They both observed that intelligent students often give up pursuing advanced studies in the sciences not because they are incapable of mastering the subjects but because they grew frustrated with the subjects too early, often due to a teacher who didn’t spend the time to understand a complex idea. They understand that a fundamental understanding of the basic sciences are essential for future success in STEM fields. Our course aims to prepare students for higher level science classes, keep them engaged and inspired in the basic sciences and most importantly instill confidence in our students in the sciences.
Although targeted at 5th or 6th graders, the content will be similar to the content delivered in a 8th or 9th grade science class under the US system.

Introduction to Science科學課程 這門課在Lighthouse Camps，一直深受孩子與家長們喜愛。課程教材使用 入門版的科學探索 Exploring Science 7，這是目前英國許多學校使用的教科書，主要是讓學5-6年級的學生，對生物、物理、化學有基本的認識，並且深入淺出地帶到8-9年級程度的內容。每個禮拜都是獨立的一個主題。
這項課程內容是由萊特豪斯的創辦人Mark (史丹佛大學生物學學士) 與課程研發主任Ivon (台北醫學大學醫學士)共同規劃。他們發現，很多資質優異的孩子，在一開始遇到進階的科學相關課程，就投降放棄了。這並不是因為孩子們能力不足，多半是因為在打基礎的時候，就已經因為老師快速帶過而飽受挫折。打好科學課程的基礎是通往理科STEM成功學習的重要關鍵。有鑑於以上種種，萊特豪斯Introduction to Science基礎科學這門課的目標是為學生準備好學習進階理科項目的底子，藉由獨特設計的教學，讓孩子們可以真正參與投入學習，啟發對STEM科目的學習興趣與自信，藉此增強求知慾望，為孩子後續的理工科STEM 領域，做好超前部署。
