Early Elementary Science Yearly Curriculum: Let's Learn, Experiment, and Explore

NEW SECTION STARTING 2/24 at 2 PM CST. 

WELCOME TO SCIENCE: Learn a year's worth of science with me, your certified teacher and lover of all things science! 

ONGOING SECTIONS DO NOT BUILD; FEEL FREE TO START AND STOP AS YOUR SCHEDULE PERMITS. Classes will recycle back to the beginning once the entire course is completed.  I teach multiple sections of this class. If you would like to know what unit and week a certain section is on, please message me. I usually respond within a few hours. 

We will dive into a year's worth of science lessons, in this weekly ongoing class. This class is perfect for kindergarten - 3rd grade homeschool lessons. 

My teaching style is play-based, and I aim to incorporate as many of the five senses into each lesson. So, your little learner will be engaged, creating, exploring, and having so much fun they will never know they are doing "work". 

Supplies: Each week you will receive supplies list the Sunday prior to class beginning. Supplies are almost always common items we all have around the house. Additionally, you will have a weekly packet to print out. If there is an issue with printing or supplies one week, message me. I will do my best to find a "Plan B". I demonstrate all activities, so they can always watch me if you don't have time to gather supplies.
