Make the connection between the abstract concept of with the hands-on project of molecular modeling. and the #In this ongoing course, we will assemble models of chemical compounds similar to the image pictured for this class. I will teach the students in this class to build a model of various compounds to help them conceptualize molecules in 3 D. By using the flexible links of this set we will learn to create single, double, and triple bonds.  We will discover how to assemble models of atomic molecules. Visualization with a hands-on model helps to grasp the 3D concept of the molecule that will build on chemistry concepts for middle school, high school, and college.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Xavier University of Louisiana
I’m a native of New Orleans. I am also a joyful homeschool mother of one and a passionate teacher of Biology, Chemistry, and Nutrition. I not only delight in teaching these subjects well but also enjoy creating a fun and stimulating environment in which to learn. Although I teach the hard sciences, I focus on making those academic  classes amusing with engaging activities and by adding my sense of humor to the mix.  

 I enjoy debate, reading, writing well, cooking, and swimming in my spare time. I was a local Scripps-Howard spelling bee champion. I have also won numerous writing awards. I am proud to be on the board of the Catholic Homeschoolers for the Archdiocese of Galveston/Houston.

 I have a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana. I have a Master’s degree in Public Health from Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine with a concentration in Nutrition. I have work experience in laboratory research, medical sales, and medical/editing writing. I completed coursework in Gross Anatomy, Histology, Biochemistry, Statistics, Cardiology, Pulmonology, and Pharmacology at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, OH. I was formerly employed by Johnson & Johnson and GlaxoSmithkline. I tutor high school biology and I have experience with AP Biology and the Biology CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exam.  I like catering to each child’s interests and responding to each question. I am also an ACE Educator. 

 I do have a loyal following of students and I would like to share the Outschool reviews that has been written about my classes. 

Here are a few:

1)This was my daughter's third class with Mrs. Brandy and it certainly won't be her last.  She learned a lot about chemistry, including high school terms, in an easy to understand way and had fun while doing so.  She enjoyed the camaraderie with the other students, the hands on experiments and the Kahoot.  Mrs. Brandy is knowledgeable about her subjects and shares her information in a fun and engaging manner.  We highly recommend Mrs. Brandy's classes.-Chemisty for Middle School

2)Mrs. Brandy is fantastic.  My daughter was excited to join the classes each week, and was excited to tell me things she learned in class.  I will have her take other Mrs. Brandy classes.  I am a university professor, and was able to overhear some of the classes, and was really impressed - Mrs. Brandy is a real, professional teacher - a lot of respect for her teaching method and curriculum.  I admired her creativity of using candy to illustrate the spine.  Thank you Mrs. Brandy! - Biology for Middle School 

3)You know it's a good class when your kid comes out of it feeling like an area that they previously thought was too technical and tricky would actually be a possible career choice! Excellent teaching here in the truest sense of the word. -Histology/Microanatomy
