Little scientists have the option of getting the weekly supplies and participating in the science activity or may choose to simply observe. Print out the provided “official science journal“ each week and get ready to explore. I will provide step-by-step instructional videos for our activities in order for students to participate along at home. I often include my own children in videos to create more of an age appropriate “classroom like” environment. I want your learner to feel like they are part of a class and will be available for any questions or communications. New videos will be available each Monday. 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 hypothesis and observations and share it in the classroom. Science activities include: WEEK ONE - Grow a Rainbow - Learn about chromatography and capillary action as we watch in amazement while our rainbows grow! WEEK TWO - Unbreakable Bag - How many pencils can we poke through our water filled plastic bags? What else can we poke through? What happens when we puncture our bags? WEEK THREE - 3-in-1 Magic Water - Learn about air and water pressure in a hands-on way! What happens when we lift our cups upside down over the water? Will our tissue stay dry or get wet when we dunk our cups under the water? Watch in amazement as our paper sticks magically to our upside-down water glass! WEEK FOUR - Build and Melt a Snowman - Learn about the states of matter as we make cute little snowmen then melt them with a fun fizzing action! How does a “Flexible Schedule” course work? No scheduled live video chats. Discussions via classroom forum and private messages with the teacher. Great if your learner prefers independent pacing or is uncomfortable with live video chat.

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
