US Grade 5 - 8
This course will provide a comprehensive and engaging approach to learning that covers the Nature of Science, Physical science, Life Science, and Earth Science. It will include labs and demonstrations of scientific concepts. It will meet your student's science curriculum needs! Semester 1-3 covers 6th, 7th & 8th-grade science content and can be taken in any order. Many learners begin their middle school science journey apprehensive and little interest/knowledge in science. After the course has ended, they have grown to enjoy science and are much more confident in their scientific knowledge! This course will include presentations, guided notes, videos, reading, writing, graphic organizers, foldables, experiments/labs, and demonstrations. I'm a firm believer in creating engaging learning experiences. I'm excited to begin a journey of discovering science with your learner!

Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I've been teaching middle school comprehensive science since 2014 and I taught 5th-grade science prior to moving to middle school. I currently help design activities that support the 7th & 8th-grade curriculum for all of the science teachers. Reading and writing are incorporated in this science course as well. I have a master's degree in reading and writing, and I am a firm believer of reading and writing in the content area.
I've been an Outschool teacher since 2017 and am now the Administrator for Blooming Rose Academy. To see reviews for this course, please view the profile for Dawn Huffman on Outschool. I'm excited to be able to offer this course through my organization with HIGHLY trained and qualified teachers. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions. Reviews
