In this hands-on experiment class, students will learn several scientific concepts and then create their own glow in the dark lava lamp! Students will learn the scientific method which includes how to make observations, form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, ask questions, draw conclusions and report results. Upon our findings, students will compare and report their results with one another. This class will also allow students to promote their oral skills and I encourage positive social interaction. Be prepared to turn your lights off! ***Kindly note that if you do not have the supplies, students are still allowed to join the class and merely follow along. That way, they can still learn the process of how to make it and they can also conduct this experiment after class.*** Remember to click the heart on my profile to follow me in order to see new classes.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the scientific method, the history of lava lamps, the steps to create it as well as how it works.

π Hello! I'm Teacher Saara. I've been featured as an EPIC and ACE educator! I have a passion for teaching and I am very excited to teach your learner! I love to cook, swim, travel and conduct experiments! Iβm originally from an island in the Caribbean called Trinidad. However, I grew up on Long Island, New York and I now reside in South Florida.
π I have a Master's degree in Literacy from Long Island University, a Bachelorβs degree in General and Special Education from St. Josephβs College as well as certifications in both TESOL and TEFL. I have been teaching for over 12 years in public and private schools. I've also been recognized as an EPIC Educator by Outschool providing instruction and creating class experiences that are Empowering, Passion-driven, Intentional, and Connected. Now that's EPIC!
π©βπ« Currently, Iβve been teaching online for over six years and I have experience teaching well over 15,000 online classes to students and I absolutely love the atmosphere of an online classroom! I have also spent three years in the tropical Caribbean teaching English to children from all parts of the world. I have taught ages three to 18 years old in subject areas such as ESL, reading, conversing skills, phonics, writing, cooking, grammar, math, science, social studies, fingerplay/songs, role playing and much more!
π My goal is to ensure your child feels comfortable, is respected, builds their confidence, sees their potential as they master content in a positive learning environment and promote intellectual diversity. I firmly believe your learner will leave my classroom with the tools they need to succeed.
π My philosophy is a childβs mind is like a blank canvas. Itβs up to us educators, parents and everyone involved in a child's life to fill the canvas with meaningful illustrations. My interactive classes will contribute to this. My classes are extremely entertaining with humor, using many 3D props as well as digital props as it makes class more engaging.
πΉ Remember, teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your learner!Reviews
