🩸This course will cover the curriculum on "Matter and Chemistry". Students will master the topics and concepts. 
My strong focus is on solidifying the understanding of the science concepts in an engaging way. All the concepts will be discussed with their application and real world examples (including activities and models) so that the student is able to understand the concepts, retain the learning and continue to build on the concepts in High school.
 
🩸The learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course. Students will have multiple opportunities to interact, ask questions and share the learning with me and the class.

🩸🩸🩸1. I will be sharing a "Review Note sheet" on the topic discussed in class so that the student may review all the concepts that were learned and discussed during class.
2. An experiment or an activity will be  shared in classroom which will require common materials used at home. The student may choose to do this anytime at home during the week.

First 2 minutes- Welcoming of students. Learners are also welcome to ask questions and clarify doubts from the previous class. This will help to learn, understand and continue to build on the learning of the concepts discussed in class. 
Next 40 minutes the teacher will share a Google Slides presentation to learn and explore the concepts with real world examples. After a few slides each time there will be short video clips from credible educational sources that will help learners to reinforce the concepts learned.
Students are welcome to discuss and ask questions to make the class more interactive. Learners may use graphics/flowchart/concept maps for noting these concepts.
Last 3 minutes students will share their learning with the class, review the topic, discuss and may ask relevant and essential questions as well. Alternatively they will be working on a simulation. 

I do not share the class recording because I play videos in class that require permission and subscription. I am able to play them in class but not able to share them online.  If you are unable to attend a meeting, please refer to the Review Notes shared with you in the classroom on the topic discussed for the week. Thanks.:)
