It's time to get messy with this Halloween themed science class. Students will learn all about Non-Newtonian substances while making pumpkin guts. First, we will start with lesson time. The students will be introduced to Newtonian substances and how they behave, according to the laws of science. Then, the fun begins when they learn all about Non-Newtonian substances and how they play by their own rules. Students will be provided with a lab sheet to record their observations and details of their experiment. Next, we will dive into making our pumpkin guts. It will get messy and fun!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I enjoy teaching literature classes that make learning the greats fun and interesting. I love teaching Shakespeare and creative writing. I also enjoy home-based science classes. I have been in education for years. I began teaching early childhood education in the school system in San Diego. I moved on to teach middle grade children. Most recently, I worked as a Children's Director and oversaw the entire K-5th program. I have also taught in many home school co-ops, where I worked with al age groups. I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in British literature. I believe that kids learn thru all different types of media. It is important to remember that not every child learns the same way. By making education fun and engaging, kids will be excited to learn! When I am not spending time with my own two kiddos hiking or swimming, I am usually playing my cello or walking my Irish wolfhound. He is as big as a small pony!Reviews
