Class experience

This course will be taught by a certified teacher that will make sure the material matches state and Next Generation Science standards. The standards printout is available by request and attached to the class wall. 

Earth Science Standards:
S5E1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to identify surface features on the
Earth caused by constructive and/or destructive processes.
a. Construct an argument supported by scientific evidence to identify surface features
(examples could include deltas, sand dunes, mountains, volcanoes) as being caused by
constructive and/or destructive processes (examples could include deposition, weathering,
erosion, and impact of organisms).
b. Develop simple interactive models to collect data that illustrate how changes in surface
features are/were caused by constructive and/or destructive processes.
c. Ask questions to obtain information on how technology is used to limit and/or predict the
impact of constructive and destructive processes.
(Clarification statement: Examples could include seismological studies, flood forecasting
(GIS maps), engineering/construction methods and materials, and infrared/satellite imagery.) 

Life Science Standards:
S2L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the life cycles of different
living organisms.
a. Ask questions to determine the sequence of the life cycle of common animals in your area: a
mammal such as a cat, dog or classroom pet, a bird such as a chicken, an amphibian such as a
frog, and an insect such as a butterfly.
b. Plan and carry out an investigation of the life cycle of a plant by growing a plant from a seed
and by recording changes over a period of time.
c. Construct an explanation of an animal’s role in dispersing seeds or in the pollination of
plants.
d. Develop models to illustrate the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than
humans

Class Information For Parents:
I am only a small piece of your homeschool puzzle. My goal is to provide your family quality curriculum, fun labs, crafts and assessment tools. I have over 23 years of experience in the classroom and homeschooling my own children. Over the years I have taught in the private, public and college setting providing quality labs and curriculum. I currently write science curriculum for 3 states to be used in public school classrooms. Over the years I have improved my craft by taking countless professional development on assessment methods, how to integrate technology into the classroom, and hands-on activities that promote learning. I am now taking my experience to provide quality curriculum for homeschool families. 

Assessments: Because my classes are flex, the option for live testing is not included. Instead I have a paid premium teacher membership to Quizizz and Quizlet. When it is time for an assessment I provide the student a website link and special code to take the test. Quizizz and Quizlet both grade test immediately for the family and allow the student the option to retest for a higher grade. Then students are asked to write down the grade, test name and date in their spiral on the "test score" page. All flex parents are asked to look at the spiral and test score page periodically to keep informed and to see how well the student is progressing in the class. If you are participating in a co-op that requires live testing, please let me know. I have a special Outschool one day option add-on that you can use for live testing. You can simply request the time/day for live testing that works for you. I have found that some flex parents use my Quizizz/Quizlet tests, but some families opt out of testing so it is whatever works best for your family. But I do provide the assessments if you would like to use them. Once the student is on the testing site via my special code they may also use the site for test over other subjects also. 

How To Grade: I recommend that parents add up all of the test scores at the end of the session, and divide by the number of test to get the final average for the class. At the end of the class I provide a general letter of completion that can be used for your records or charter/private/co-op use. If you need me to put a specific average on the letter, I am more than happy to just let me know the average your child has or seen me a list of their test scores to average.

I hope the above information is helpful and I want to thank you for taking the time to read it. I strive to give 200% to my families on Outschool so please reach out if you have questions.
