Class Experience

In this super fun science class, learners will experiment with kernels of corn. We will take turns making hypotheses as we add water, then vinegar and lastly baking soda into our jars! What will happen? Our boring kernels will go from sinking to floating up and down in our jars making them look as if they're having a fall harvest dance party! Students will learn about buoyancy, chemical change, as well as acid and base combinations all while being amazed at the dancing spectacle. Learners will write/draw their hypotheses as well as record observations with each step thereby becoming comfortable practicing the scientific method. 

Includes a printable science journal with step-by-step instructions.

Hello parents and students, 

I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion since 2015. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher for ever since. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class. 

I have a bachelors degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mother to my twin sons and my two daughters. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
