Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
This course will cover the NGSS 4th Grade Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! Problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course through engaging labs, discussions, virtual simulations, and videos. Students will have multiple performance assessments throughout the course in order to assess their understanding in addition to problem-based learning projects and experiments. 

Due to the fact that this is a self-paced course, students who are already taking 4th grade science can enroll for additional support and practice. Homeschooled students can enroll for a complete 4th grade science curriculum. Videos will be uploaded weekly along with practice assignments, labs, homework, and additional resources. Students will use the Outschool classroom to access all materials and homework.

Welcome to Seed and Stem Learning Center by Bailey Nelson and Kenneth Kirk! 

As a prior public school teacher, Bailey experienced the positive difference that scientific inquiry can have on students. Kenneth, who received his Bachelor's of Business Degree in Economics, found a passion in educating young students the improtance of financial literacy and business education. Bailey and Ken used this inspiration to create a program that allows students to connect across the globe through quality and inclusive education. 

Although students take classes virtually, they will be inspired through hands-on and real-world applications and problems. Through our engaging courses, students will develop (or enhance) their love of all subjects by connecting to real-life applications and problems.

Teachers and tutors are all vetted through a rigorous process that focuses on scientific inquiry, problem-based learning, and hands-on pedagogy. Teachers come from a variety of backgrounds including education, economics, engineering, and computer science.
