Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
Welcome to 5th grade science! 5th grade science is broken into four quarters. 
*Students do not need to take these quarter courses in order**

This curriculum is packed full of fun facts, hands-on activities, and interactive learning. I believe that to understand a concept students, and grown-ups, need to jump in and experience it! Class will start with a brief presentation, game, or video. We will learn a little about the topic of the week and then dive into our activity. 

After class there will be a post-activity that is optional. This may include another hands-on experiment/activity, worksheet, or videos. I encourage students to share stories or show artifacts that have to do with the topic. This is optional, but always a fun way for students to be interactive! 

I encourage classroom conversation as I am always trying to post questions, reminders, and conversation starters. I love checking in during the week, espeically if we have an on-going experiment that we are observing. 


**Please note quarter 2 covers an introduction to body organs** 

Topics for this quarter: 
Week one- Skeletal system
Week two- Circulatory system
Week three- Muscular system
Week four- Digestive system
Week five- Nervous system
Week six (the last week of our body systems unit)- Respiratory system
Week seven- Citizen Science Introduction: iNaturalist
Week eight- Biosphere: Pick an Ecosystem/Species Project- pick species and begin research
Week nine- Biospehere: Pick an Ecosystem/Species Project- map it out and look for change 
Week ten- Biosphere: Pick an Ecosystem/Species Project- complete and share

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Parental Guidance
YouTube videos are sometimes used in post-activities posted in the classroom after class to continue learning. We will be using iNaturalist, which is a citizen science platform where people can observe and record different natural pnomena, for example birds seen in your backyard.
Supply List
A materials list will be posted in the classroom each week prior to class.

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am so happy you ventured over to my science learning lab! 

My goal is for students to have fun, maybe get messy, and gain a love for science! My teaching style is interactive and hands-on as I try to bring science to life. My classes work well for the kinesthetic learner. 
You will find that most of my classes have a hands-on component to complement the learning experience and my presentations are very visual. 

I do my very best to keep prices lower than average as I understand how quickly classes add up for parents. Keeping the prices lower also helps parents as there are material lists for experiments and activities. However, almost every class that I have has a coupon! Please reach out if you need assistance. 

When I am not teaching I love to spend time with my daughter outside, gardening, raising chicks, and learning new skills. My goal is to combine some of my hobbies while teaching. 

I have been teaching environmental science to students in pre-k through 12th grade for over 12 years. I have taught in various settings including outdoors, in classrooms, and online. I currently run my own business developing and delivering science lessons and custom curriculums to students in school settings, early learning centers, scouts, libraries, and more! I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Sociology in 2016 and my M.S. in Resilient and Sustainable Communities in 2019.
