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. My goal is for class to be fun and engaging! Topics for this quarter: Week one- Plant parts and their functions Week two- Plant cells Week three- Photosynthesis Week four- Flowers and their parts Week five- Introduction to science fair and research projects (choose topics and questions) Week six- Understanding the scientific method and applying it to science fair projects Week seven- Work on research project Week eight- Class Science Fair *Presenation Day* There is always a possibility of class running a few minutes over or ending a few minutes early (if students don't have materials to do the activity). Please let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to answer and help in any way that I can.

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.Reviews
