Practical Activities

The practical requirements for Elementary students provide them with important real-life experience in conducting experiments, making useful products, participating in activities that further enhance their understandings of the subjects taught or in learning a new skill. Practical activities consists of both projects and skill development.

"Research" is a concept that helps a student to observe activities or phenomena in the environment, thereby learning first-hand about basic concepts in physics, biology, or chemistry, for example. Students engage in a variety of research projects as part of their regular curriculum.

Field Trips

Getting out to observe or interact with the world outside Delphi is a big part of the program. In the classrooms, students are encouraged to connect what they are studying with the real world. Field trips help them to make that connection even more real.

Projects

As part of the learning process, Elementary School students will participate in a variety of practical projects, which may include keeping a budget, participating in a mock trial, designing and building a dog house, or using a telescope to study the moon and planets.
