Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten

In this one time class, students will learn physics while playing and having fun. During this class, students will build ramps from cardboard, books, or other house hold items. We will learn about the three laws of motion through hands on testing with our ramps and other variables such as height, weight, and adding texture to our ramps. Students will be exposed to scientific terms such as hypothesis, conclusion, variables, friction, and force. The teacher will also give other examples of how the laws of motion apply to our everyday lives.  This class is very interactive and allows students to make suggestions for ways to test the laws of motion. 


**Some of my one time class science experiments may also be done during my ongoing Preschool science lab! Repeating experiments is a great way for little learners to delve deeper into the topic and test different variables!**

Other Details

Supply List

Students will need materials to build a ramp. Some examples may include cardboard, cookie sheet, cutting board, books, blocks, etc. They need to be able to change the height of their ramp during class. They also need several cars of different size or balls. The should also bring something to change the texture of the ramp such as bubble ramp, a towel, or blanket.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Master’s Degree in Education from University of Maryland, College Park

Hello to Everyone!  My name is Miss Meghan and I can’t wait to meet your child. I enjoy teaching a variety of classes for preschool and early elementary ages. 

I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. At the beginning of my career, I worked extensively with autistic children in home settings designing programs to help students access the world around them in an empowering way. After my oldest daughter was born, I became a licensed childcare provider creating a home away from home for many children to grow and learn. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided it was time to explore other options and that is how I landed at Outschool. I am so grateful for this opportunity and love meeting new learners from all over the world.

I have a passion for instilling a love of learning in young children through exposure, messy play, and fun! I strongly believe that letting children delve into learning at their own level and allowing for different types of learning styles sets children up for a life long learning journey. 

In addition to teaching on Outschool, I currently homeschool my youngest daughter and am very involved in her homeschool co-op and activities. My oldest daughter, who was homeschooled until high school, is trying public school for the first year! I feel so grateful to have a career that I love that also affords me the opportunity to spend time with my own children as well. In my free time, I enjoy art, brainstorming new lesson ideas, cross stitch, and reading! 

I offer science, art, language arts, social studies, math, and social classes for preschool and early elementary groups, as well as social groups for neurodivergent learners! Please feel free to message me with any questions!
