Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 4
Beginner Level
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.

Topics: (by week)
9/11: Living v. non-living things
9/18: Cells
9/25: Plants (structure/function and life cycle)

3/9 (Thurs) 3/15 (Weds): Plants (photosynthesis)
3/16 (Thurs) 3/22 (Weds): Animals
3/23 (Thurs) 3/29 (Weds): Hibernation and migration
3/30 (Thurs) 4/5 (Weds): Food chains
4/26: Decomposers &  experimental design/scientific method
5/3: Body systems: Skeletal & muscular system
5/10: Body systems: Digestive system
5/17: Body systems: Circulatory system
5/24: Body systems: Respiratory system

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.

Learning Goals

Young scientists will learn the basics of biology, while applying the skills of a scientist, such as observation, classification, and experimentation.
