What is a dwarf planet? Where did this term come from and when was it introduced? Why should we study dwarf planets? In this class, students will learn the answers to these questions in addition to other important facts. Students will be able to differentiate between dwarf planets and planets while learning the names of all the dwarf planets. They will also discover which ones have moons and the characteristics of their orbits. Interactive classes are enjoyable and engaging for both the students and myself. Students will be involved in the discussion and free to ask any questions they may have concerning the material.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify the dwarf planets we currently know. They will be able to tell which ones have moons, and why we study the dwarf planets.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
UPDATE: I am taking a break from Outschool. After the spring semester of 2024 ends, I will take a hiatus.
I offer a variety of science and math classes. I have close to ten years of teaching experience. I've worked with students of all ages including young adults. I experience teaching in the classroom and teaching virtually. I have a B.A. from Louisiana State University.
I've helped tutoring student reach their goals whether it's to pass a standardized test or get a passing grade in a course.
I think that a basic understanding of science enhances one's life. It opens up a world hidden to most people. Studying science and math helps children to develop critical thinking skills that can be applied to all areas of life. My goal in all my classes is to inspire the students to study science. I want them to always ask questions and to stay curious.
Please reach out to me if you don't see a time that works for your child. I will try to be accommodating if it is possible.
When I am not teaching or prepping for classes, I enjoy crafting, reading, working out, and spending time with my dog.
"If you are scientifically literate the world looks very different to you. And that understanding empowers you." -Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson
