Learners will understand animal cells and the human body. Learners will be able to identify various ways in which body systems work together to perform life functions and maintain homeostasis in the body. Learners will understand various pathology for each system.
I have my bachelors degree in science in Nutrition from Florida State University. My degree included all pre-med prerequisites (cell biology, microbiology, organic chemistry, chemistry, physics, anatomy and physiology - 2 college semesters). I also worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative and had additional training in the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. I am a former middle school science teacher in Florida public schools and have been teaching middle and high school students on Outschool since 2020. I originally developed this course as part of a contract for a post-secondary health program and have adapted it to the high school level for Outschool. I recently heard from the director of the program and she had this to say about the course materials: 
"Hi Stephanie, - I may just have to thank you after every class! (The students) are just so grateful for your classes - the combo we created is just so effective - I am so grateful. Thank you!"
Homework Offered
Diagrams can be filled out during class. Weekly 10-question quiz will be done on the learner's own time.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Most Nearpod Interactive Slides will be done during class. These will not be graded because they are considered "practice". The very last slide will be a 10-questions cumulative quiz that learners can do on their own time and a grade will be issued. Diagrams can be filled out during class. I won't ask learners to turn these in but they can if they would like feedback.
Grades Offered
I will issue a grade for each weekly quiz, but you can also contact me to request a cumulative grade.
Lecture/slides/discussion is broken up by Nearpod Interactive Slides for learner engagement. Flexible deadlines. Homework is optional.
None (animal cell overview included in the first lesson)
computer or smart device (learners will need to download the Nearpod app for smart device - which is free)
printer paper (for diagrams which are optional)
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
*Female and male anatomy are studied in lesson 9. Optional diagrams of female and male anatomy will be provided that learners can label. This is not sexual education, but taught from the perspective of the structure and functions of the reproductive systems. 
*Pathology will be discussed toward the end of each class (the last 10-15 minutes). Some learners may find this content distressing, but I always teach pathology from the perspective that there are MANY diseases which we can prevent or improve through lifestyle (of course this is not true of all diseases). Please contact me if you feel this material will be distressing to your learner. 
*External resources do not require an account or password for use.
