includedClass Experience
In this ongoing class, we will be learning basic chemistry concepts through hands on experiments. Each week will be a stand alone topic, so learners can join at anytime. I have a very interactive teaching style and love to ask questions. Students can always choose how much they would like to participate. I will use google slides, short video clips and a Kahoot review game to cover the material each week. SCHEDULE OF TOPICS Week of June 2nd: Oxidation - invisible ink experiment Week of June 9th: Properties of water (capillary action) - walking water experiment Week if June 16th: Density - make your own lava lamp Week of June 23rd: Polymers/Non-Newtonian Fluids - Slime Week of July 7th: Surface Tension/Surfactants - magic milk experiment Week of July 28th: Endothermic Reaction - blow up a balloon with baking soda & vinegar Week of August 4th: Exothermic Reaction - elephant toothpaste
Learning Goals
Students will learn basic chemistry hands on experiments.

Parental Guidance
We will be doing STEM experiments each week using household supplies. Parental guidance may be needed for some experience depending on the maturity level of each student. We will also review at the end of each class using Kahoot.
