Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Learners will receive one-on-one tutoring.  I will be able to help your learner grow their science knowledge in all areas of science, including Physical Science,  Earth and Space Science, Life Science and Nature of Science! 

This class is aimed to work with students who are between grades 6th-8th or 11-14 years old. Once you sign your learner up, I will communicate with you to determine the needs of your learner.

Specific topics I will have plenty of help and information for are: 


Physical Science:
Elements and Compounds 
Pure Substances and Mixtures
Acids & Bases
The Periodic Table 
Properties and Changes in Matter
Chemical Equations 
Atom

Speed, Acceleration, and Velocity 
Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations 
Types of Forces
Calculating Forces - Net Force


For Earth Science:
Plate Tectonics & Continental Drift Theory
Types of Plate Boundaries
Landforms - Volcanoes, Mountains, Rift Valleys 
Earth’s Interior - Layers of the Earth
Weather and Climate

Space Science:
Star Cycle - Supernovas, Black Holes, etc. 
Planets - Order of Planets, what’s unique about them.
Tides
Moon Phases
Life Cycle of Stars
Properties of the Sun

Life Science:
Biomes, Ecosystems and Habitats
Theory of Evolution and Natural Selection
Food Webs/Chains 
Interactions in Ecosystems - Parasitism, Mutualism, and Commensalism 
Trophic Levels/Energy Transformations - Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers. 
Organ Systems 
Types of Cells
Cellular Division
Heredity (DNA and RNA), Punnett Squares, Pedigree Charts

If your learner needs tutoring in other areas of science, please reach out and let me know.  


*Homework and grades can be provided if requested.

Other Details

Learning Needs
Structured Environment: Provide clear routines and expectations Visual Supports: Use visuals to enhance understanding and communication. Multisensory Instruction: engage multiple senses to reinforce learning Positive Reinforcement
Parental Guidance
We will be using Google Drive to share documents for class (Google Docs and Google Slides), Youtube videos to reinforce concepts taught in class PHET simulations to help visual learners better understand concepts and apply them (I will share links with learners when we use this or in some cases I will screen share the simulation), Blooket and Gimkit to play review games to reinforce concepts through screen share Nearpod to present materials through screen share
Supply List
Supply list will be shared upon enrollment for the course and is optional as I model all of the activities.
