Let the Space Adventure begin!
Areas of focus: facts about our Sun, 8 main planets, the Solar System regions, moons, and the Terrestrial & Jovian Planets. 
Other areas of focus include working well with others in a fun-based, online environment, and building a sense of partnership and collaboration with their fellow astronauts as they problem solve to find the codes to unlock each new key & region of the Solar System.

I have always had a love of space, from the moment my grandpa, an amateur astronomer, let me look through the 10-foot telescope he built all by himself, to watching shuttles & satellites lift into the sky, and watching some fall back to the earth. I have spotted some of the largest dust storms to hit Mars, and have enjoyed looking at the various craters on our Moon and seeing the rings around Saturn, all from my own backyard in Missouri & while using other telescopes my grandpa built. I have never ceased my exploration and search, looking to the skies to watch for eclipses, comets, and so much more! My love of all things Space has only increased with time, and I feel it is the next great wave of the future! 
As a teacher with three different degrees, including a Master’s Degree in Teaching, I have taken several science courses, including those dealing with Astronomy. I also have over 30 years of experience working with children of various ages, teaching a variety of topics, including Astronomy, Arts & Crafts, Music, Business, Computers and more! I love to share my knowledge with the next generation as I hope to instill the awe-inspiring beauty the Unknown Universe holds, as well as encourage students to dream and believe! I hope to see you in class as we take on this Escape Room Challenge-Escape the Solar System!

Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
The goal of this class is for students to be able to work together in a fun, interactive Escape Room style class, to discover the codes to unlock the “keys”, which then open up new regions of the Solar System, and lead their ship and crew deeper into space, ending with an adventure in Interstellar Space. As such, they will complete tasks, puzzles, and other fun team-building exercises to find the missing code words to unlock each new key/region of space!
Grades Offered

Our escape room utilizes Google documents which have been prepared by the teacher. Learners will receive the link in the Outschool Classroom once our online escape room begins and will simply click on the link to begin entering the codes to unlock the keys as we race through each new region of space (room)!
