Biology for Beginners: Life Science for Curious Learners

In this fun and interactive ongoing course, we will explore a new topic in life science each week.

Each class will begin with an explanation of the theme, and learners will get a chance to share what they already know.  Through photos, videos, games, and diagrams we will explore the topic in greater depth.  Some weeks will include a short experiment to engage children in the scientific method.  Learners will be encouraged to fill in their provided science journal and complete complementary worksheets.

My teaching style is adaptable. Each class is different, so I always work to adapt to the needs of every student.  Each learner is encouraged to engage to the extent that they are comfortable.  My virtual classroom is a place for all levels and abilities.
