Save as PDF SCIENCE · AGES 13–16 · 16 WEEKS
SCIENCE + AI Simulate physics. Visualize chemistry. AI solves science.
THE OUTCOME
Your child will leave able to use code and AI to model real scientific systems — physics, chemistry, ecosystems — and to defend their results in front of an audience.
BY DEMO DAY, YOUR CHILD WILL HAVE
Physics Sim AI Project Sandbox Studio Cohort Workspace Live URL Data Story Demo Day WEEK-BY-WEEK CURRICULUM
PHASE 1
PHYSICS + CHEMISTRY Weeks 1–6 WK 1–2
Gravity & Motion Simulator
Code F=ma. Drop objects on Earth, Moon, Mars. Verify Newton's laws. Sliders change gravity.
Pygame + physics WK 3–4
Chemistry Visualizer
Periodic table explorer. Select 2 elements → show reaction. Molecular structure animations.
Python + animation WK 5–6
Pendulum & Wave Lab
Simple pendulum physics. Period vs length. Then: wave interference patterns. Sound + light waves.
Pygame + maths PHASE 2
DATA + AI Weeks 7–10 WK 7–8
Data Science for Science
Analyse real datasets: weather, pollution, population. pandas + charts. Find patterns. Draw conclusions.
Python + pandas WK 9–10
AI Science Tutor
Build an AI that explains physics/chemistry/biology step by step. Upload question → get explanation.
OpenAI API + web PHASE 3
ECOSYSTEM SIM Weeks 11–12 WK 11–12
Ecosystem Simulator
Code a mini ecosystem: predators, prey, food, reproduction. Change variables. Watch population graphs.
PHASE 4
TEAM + DEMO DAY Weeks 13–16 WK 13–14
Team: AI Lab Assistant
Pairs build an AI tool for science: experiment planner, equation solver, or element identifier.
WK 15–16
SCIENCE + AI DEMO DAY
Present: simulation + AI tool + what you learned. Explain the SCIENCE, not just the code. Portfolio.
