" I dropped him off that morning and he was pouting."

"My son Mark attended your Biology Lab Intensive. He's in 8th grade and hasn't been especially interested in science. I asked him if he wanted to attend your intensive and he said no. I told him he was going to because we needed to get his labs done and this was a good way to do that."

"I dropped him off that morning and he was pouting. I picked him up that afternoon and he talked incessantly on the way home (this is my quiet child). It not only amazed me that he was so excited about science but that he loved doing this all day for two solid days. That kind of excitement in a child brings so much joy to a mother's heart. He also loved your 'real life lessons' talk. Thank you so much Greg for your ministry to our children!"

Beth (a grateful mom)

"As a first time Homeschooler for my 9th grade daughter our first home school activity aside from starting the curriculum in July to do a "test run" was the Landry Academy Bio lab intensive these last two days in Williamstown NJ. Knowing that my daughter is passionate about animals and wishes to Major in the field we were excited and nervous about our first stop in our homeschooling journey. She had a blast!! Did blood analysis and experiments, dissected a frog, worm and gave 'Birth" to sheep from a uterus plus more...( better her than me) The people were friendly and we enjoyed our stay in Williamstown. .. definitely looking to do it again next year. As for us, my daughter loved the experience. We will definitely join in the Chemistry labs next year."

Greetings Parents and Students,

As a former college professor and homeschool dad, I'm passionate about seeing that "light" in students eyes when they have experienced how cool science is. God is glorified as we explore His Creation in depth.

Our Physical / Life Science, Advanced Prep for Science / Medical Majors, Biology / Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, Physics, and Advanced Biology Intensives are led by a teachers who love the Lord, have expertise in their area, and are passionate about teaching young people. Students will do hands-on labs, many of them beyond the scope of what most private and public school students ever experience.

They will also learn to write college-quality lab reports and to think critically as a scientist. They'll work hard, laugh, talk about serious topics, have fun, and finish the two lab intensive with a jam-packed lab manual representing their work.

Parents may issue school credit for these as they deem appropriate. These Science Lab Intensives each cover a school year of labs for that subject. Regardless of which intensive(s) they attend, students will spend two action-packed, knowledge and skill building days in a caring, fun, Christ-centered environment.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

In His Service,

Greg

The Genesis of this Intensive
(and why it's information & experience you need)

Greg Landry is a homeschool dad and former college professor. He was director of a university gross anatomy (cadaver) lab and taught Advanced Human Anatomy & Physiology to pre-med students for years. He has counseled hundreds of pre-med and other science major students, and hundreds of high school level homeschooled students on how to prepare for medical and science majors and careers. Not just "status quo" preparation but preparation that sets them apart in many ways to stand above the crowd, reach their goals, and walk out their God-given calling.

This intensive enables students / families to benefit from Greg's years of experience and expertise, and to successfully navigate the often difficult journey of reaching their medical / science major and career goals.

Who should attend this intensive?

7th - 12th grade students interested in these college majors or careers..

- Athletic Trainer
- etc.

What's Covered?

- 4 things that every 7th - 12th grade homeschooled student should be doing now to help assure high school years that lead to college acceptance, successful college undergraduate and post-graduate years, and ultimately to your God-given calling and career. Yes, what you're doing right now can ultimately affect your college years and career.. for better or worse.

- 3 mistakes that almost all homeschooled high school students make - these are detrimental to your college years and ultimately to your career.

- The single mistake that 80% of new science-major college students make - it's often detrimental to their post-graduate years and thus their career.

- The critical importance of correctly understanding the scientific method and lab reports - and how to use this knowledge to stand out above the crowd of students applying to post-graduate schools. I'll also show you how to prepare and critique college-quality lab reports.

- What you need to know about the ACT and SAT and a common misconception that will lead to many problems.

- We'll do question and answer sessions.

- What makes you different from the tens of thousands of students applying for scholarships and post-graduate schools? You'll learn what the critical factors are.

- Advanced dissections and techniques that will put you in the top 5% of students in college.

- We'll discuss how to relate to your college professors and peers in college and beyond.

- Research and experimentation details - how to stand out in college.

- Two things you can do that committees who award scholarships love to see!

- We'll discuss science and medical professions; the educational requirements, compensation, types of work, pros and cons, etc. We'll also spend time on your questions.

- And, last but not least, I'll tell you cool stories and "real-life" lessons from a university gross anatomy (cadaver) lab. For example, some of my students were dissecting a cadaver and noticed something shiny near the spinal cord. What do you think it was? :) What do you think we found in the nasal cavity of a 70 year-old male cadaver that had probably been there for almost 70 years? :) What characteristic have I seen in some pre-med students that almost assures their success at getting into medical school.

"A Refreshing Change"

"Greg, what a refreshing change it was to see all those kids having so much fun with high school science. And, it was so wonderful to get so much done in two days. Katie didn't know what to expect but loved the experience. She said you immediately put them at ease and the time flew by. In fact, her first question to me after the second day was if she could do another intensive. Science in our household has been reinvigorated - thank you!"

She really never kicks and screams, but her attitude was not one of complete willingness. Anyway, they both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have continued to talk about it and show off their "deliveries" to anyone who will look at them! Fun, fun, fun!!! I love it:-)"

- Students will record their experiment data, graphs, etc. in their lab manual

- Appropriate background information is presented prior to and during each lab that is performed. When taking a Physics class after attending our Lab Intensive, the class material will be much easier to comprehend - because they already understand the application of what they're learning in classes. For students who have taken a Physics class prior to our Lab Intensive, these labs will bring their book knowledge to life.

One year’s worth of physics labs in two days taught from a Christian worldview. State of the art technology in educational lab equipment is used including electronic motion, voltage & current sensors, and a photogate to capture measurements directly in their computers for analysis. Bringing a computer is strongly recommended since students are instructed in the use of Microsoft Excel (recommended, but OpenOffice Calc can be used) for data analysis, graphing and the use of trend lines which entails how basic algebra is useful in the laboratory. This course intensive covers advanced high school physics concepts made accessible to the average science student. A common comment is, “Boy, I really learned a lot!”

- The Effect of Compound Measurement Error
- Determining the Value of Ï€ Experimentally
- Ohm’s Law, Resistance and Capacitance
- Properties of a Pendulum
- The Inertial Balance: A Method for Measuring Mass without Gravity
- Torque, Center of Mass and Levers
- The Van de Graaff Generator and Static Electricity
- And much more!
