"Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world." -Louis Pasteur "History is safe. Geometry is safe. (Science is) punk rock!" -Paul Rudd in Ghostbusters: Afterlife Everything is science. Everything you see and hear, taste and touch, feel and say. There is science in all of it. Over the next semester, we will use common household items to understand scientific concepts and to find some of the places we can see science in our...
Learners will gain confidence in core areas of science and build a foundation in several scientific disciplines. Learners will have a chance to discover and discuss what they learn and see real-world examples of the science we are learning about.
Ms. Brenda loves science and enjoys learning about science for fun. She studied Geology at Mesa Community College, received certificates in Anatomy and Physiology at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, completed an Astronomy and Cosmology course on Khan Academy, and is currently working her way through a Physics course on Khan Academy.

Upon request, I will provide parents with a brief report outlining the Next Generation Science Learning Standard for each week and whether their learner met the standard or needs more work on a particular standard. In order to receive the report from me, parents must send me a direct message with the request and the name of their learner or learners.Grades Offered

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
When we are discussing the form and function of plants and animals, we may reference evolution and Charles Darwin. We will not be discussing evolution at length. If you have any questions you may contact me directly. Outschool is a secular platform so any alternatives to evolution will need to be discussed outside of class amongst learners and their families. Week Nineteen we will be building bird feeders that we design in week eighteen. Depending on your learner's design, parental assistance may be required. They may need help cutting plastic or punching holes in cardboard or plastic. Please be sure to have an adult nearby.
