This class will be customized to fit your learner's needs and based on specific content we have discussed. Possible topics/content include all elementary level physical science, earth science, life science, and scientific processes and procedures, all based on Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) guidelines. Content will include, but is not limited to - The Sun's role on Earth Earth's Cycles and Systems Force and Motion Properties of Matter Plant and Animal Life Cycles Number of classes per week, days, and time will be customized to fit your schedule. Each session will center around inquiry based science instruction and will include hands on experiences, valid scientific procedures, some video and digital animation, and interactive slides presented through NearPod and/or Google slides. Students will be encouraged to ask questions, design their own investigations, and follow their scientific interests. Number of days per week and times are flexible and will be arranged between parent and teacher prior to the class. Lessons will be modified to fit any learning challenges or acceleration so that it is a truly personal experience.
Learning Goals
Students will use scientific processes to explore content in all strands of science.

Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

I have been sharing my love of science and math with elementary students in public schools for over 26 years. I served most of that time in the classroom and then moved into Instructional Coaching to help other teachers improve their practice in those areas. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction.
Science classes with Ms. Susan are fun, engaging, and hands on, with an inquiry approach in everything we do. My goal is to latch on to the natural curiosity children have about the world around them and use that to explore science and math concepts in a rich and meaningful way. I believe in teaching in ways that children learn, using strategies and activities that foster a love of learning. As a retired teacher, I am not bound by district or state policies and I am able to use fun, creative lessons to instill the academics that children need to master, not the ones they need to pass state assessments.
One of my favorite quotes from Carl Sagan sums up my approach to science education - "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." In Ms. Susan's Super Science and Math classes, students will be challenged to think!Reviews
