Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
In this flexible schedule class, students will not meet live each week, but will instead view video lessons and complete assignments on their own time over the course of 4 weeks. By the end of the 4 weeks, students will have an understanding of basic Genetics. Topics covered include the difference between genes, chromosomes, and DNA, heredity and family history, and the path from genetic information stored in DNA to creating proteins.

Here are the topics to be covered each week:
Week 1: Introduction to Genetics: What is DNA?
Week 2: Heredity: Where did I come from?
Week 3: How does my body "read" DNA?
Week 4: Genetic Diseases

As a flex course, we will not meet live in person. Instead, every week I will post a lesson video. After watching the video, each student will complete a research project on a topic from that week's lesson that they found most interesting. (After all, a big part of science is research!) Then, they will record a video telling the other students and I what they learned from that week's research. I will provide a more detailed rubric for the research projects each week as they are assigned.

Each week, students will:
1) Watch lesson video (participate in pop quizzes throughout)
2) Complete review quiz/game of choice (via Quizlet; link will be provided)
3) Record video research project (a detailed rubric will be provided)
4) Participate in discussion board (we'll discuss students' questions)
I will post a weekly announcement with detailed instructions for the week's activities.

Students will interact with each other by responding to video projects and participating in the discussion boards. I will also interact with students by giving feedback on each video project and by facilitating discussions/answering questions on the discussion board.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Brigham Young University-Idaho
Hello! My name is Mrs. Atkinson and I'm excited to share my passions of science and Japanese with young learners! I recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Science and come fresh out of courses such as Biochemistry, Cell & Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Advanced Anatomy & Physiology. I enjoy breaking things down to the basics to help ignite a passion for science in our youth.

In addition, I have studied the Japanese language independently for 8 years and lived in Japan for about 2 years. I have put together a variety of Japanese courses to allow students to experience this beautiful language and culture.

Please let me know if you have any questions as you explore the variety of classes I have to offer! I offer One Time, Multi-Day, Self-Paced (Flexible Schedule), and Semester classes.
