Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this 8-part class, learners will explore connections in nature by learning about the components of the food chain, what autotrophs and heterotrophs are, how ecosystems work, and how scavengers and decomposers deal with waste. 

We will follow this schedule:

Week 1: Photosynthesis
Week 2: How Seeds Grow and Move
Week 3: Ecosystems
Week 4: Food Chains
Week 5: Apex Predators
Week 6: Scavengers
Week 7: Decomposers
Week 8: Mushroom Fungus

*Some of the lessons in this class are from my collection of one-time classes. Learner who have already taken one of those classes can choose to repeat the lesson or you can pause your subscription for those weeks.

I follow Outschool's policies for refunds (information in the link below). That means I don't give refunds for missed classes. However, if advanced notice is given I can transfer your student to a different section. You can also pause your subscription.

Learning Goals

Understand how nature is interconnected.
Understand that plants are autotrophs and they use photosynthesis to make their own food.

Even though I love teaching ELA virtually at a public school and here on Outschool, I also love science and nature! I've done a lot of research on this topic and feel qualified to share what I've learned with interested learners.
