10 Weeks of Hands-On Science

-If you want additional content aligned with what we are learning in class, you may wish to purchase "5th Grade Science Daily Practice Workbook by Argo Prep".  The lessons in this class are aligned with weeks 1-10 of that book.  The book is not required for the class, however.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Kahoot

In Week 2, we will boil water on a stove to observe water as a gas.  An adult should be nearby to assist.  If you prefer your learner not to use the stove, the learner may observe my demo and participate in the discussion. 

Week 5 may get messy.  We are looking at chemical reactions.

In Week 6, we will be looking at calories and serving sizes of foods. Calories are a unit of energy and we will be discussing them as part of our lesson on food and energy.  We will be reading food labels and discussing the number of calories per serving size.  We will not be discussing weight management or "counting calories" as a form of weight management.  

If your student is using scissors in Week 9, make sure you are aware of their ability and be nearby if needed.

EXTERNAL RESOURCES
Kahoot!- Some weeks I will include a Kahoot for after-class follow-up on what we learned in class.  The Kahoot will be accessed through a link I provide.  The link will take your learner to a trivia game.  They do not need an account and can join the game using either their first name or a nickname.  If your student uses a nickname, please send me a message to let me know so that I know which student is which.

Videos- Some weeks I may screen share videos from YouTube or another video source.  I will share the videos in class in the Zoom call and there will be no need for your learner to visit YouTube or any other video site.
