Class experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Students will explore the world and learn about famous places and nature while using Google Earth to explore. Students will become more proficient in using Google Earth.
I am a elementary and middle school science teacher having taught elementary science for 2 years, and have taught middle school science for 8 years from 6-8th grade. I am licensed as a science teacher from 6-12 grade, with a Masters in Science Education. I like making learning relate to real world experiences so students can connect to material easier than standard memorization. I review in a flow pattern that starts with basic information and expands into complex information to assist students with retention. 
Homework Offered
Students will be given activities to complete outside of the lesson for extension of topics.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students will be given a Google Forms for mastery of topics at the end of the course.
Grades Offered
Students will have a handout provided the day before each lesson to be printed and completed during class. Students will also have additional activities made available in the classroom for extension of knowledge. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will be navigating between Google Earth and Outschool platform, please help students prior to class to know how to switch screens. In addition, while all the points selected are meant to not include any sensitive material directly in class, please know students can explore links independently to view more information outside of what is selected for class. Please be aware that some material is sensitive in nature in discussion, such as religious statues, however this will be taught from a secular view to discuss the statues and why they are famous. 

Students will be able to navigate through Google Earth on their own, guidance is suggested to ensure students are where they should be in this program. No subscription is required, however if families wish to have the actual Google Earth Project shared, an email will be needed to share for access, but is not required for this course. Kahoot and Google Forms will also be used, but a parent subscription is not required to participate. Links will be provided directly in the classroom for access. 
Students will be using Google Earth, and will also be provided a printable handout for this class to allow them to fill in as they work through the project.
