Science experiments include: Week One: Ice Cream in a Bag - Practice the scientific method as we change states of matter while making delicious ice cream. Week Two: Lemon Volcano - Create a fun chemical reaction as we mix an acid and base together with our colorful, foaming lemon volcanos! Week Three: Phases of the Moon with Oreos - Learn about the phases of the moon with delicious Oreos. Week Four: Edible Bubbles - Final team Kahoot quiz covering all of the key terms learned throughout this course. Each week includes an official science journal, supply list, and corresponding instructional video. I will provide step-by-step instructional videos for our activities in order for students to participate in at home. I often include my children in videos to create more of an age-appropriate “classroom-like” environment. I want your learners to feel like they are part of a class and will be available for any questions or communications. Each week students will get a “Scientist Journal” AKA a printable one-page questionnaire, supplies, and information worksheet. Students can fill out the questionnaire with their hypotheses and observations and share it in the classroom. Learners will follow along with the engaging video lessons while filling out their science journals. They will share pictures of their completed science journals for homework. There are 4 fun experiments with 4 printable science journals and therefore 4 assignments. How does a “Flexible Schedule” course work? No scheduled live video chats. Discussions via classroom forums and private messages with the teacher. Great if your learner prefers independent pacing or is uncomfortable with live video chat. Learn at your own pace.
Learning Goals
Each week our science journal will have a list of supplies.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Eastern Michigan University
Hello parents and students,
I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion since 2015. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher for ever since. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
I have a bachelors degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mother to my twin sons and my two daughters. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.Reviews
