Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
This ongoing class will engage kindergarten, first grade and second grade learners in a different hands-on science experiment or STEM challenge each week. Simple materials routinely found at home will be used and there will seldom be a need to print materials. 

Each class will focus on the scientific method or the engineering and design process. Depending on the experiment or challenge, learners will ask questions, identify problems, create a hypothesis, complete steps in a procedure, create designs, analyze results and draw conclusions.  Application of the experiments/challenges into real-world scenarios will be included to extend student understanding. There will be a free build class at the end of each month. 

Experiments/challenges for the Winter 2025 season are listed below:

Week of January 13
Learning Target: I can explore balanced forces and the effects of gravity on items. 
Challenge: Assemble a stack of 10 cups and find 3 different ways to knock it down without using your body. 

Week of January 20
Learning Target: I can participate in a free build to develop problem solving skills. 
Challenge: Use the building materials of your choice to create a structure. 

Week of January 27

Material list for each week will be provided one week prior to class. 

Additional dates will be added as time progresses. 

My teaching style is interactive and engaging. Learners will be actively involved in completing experiments along with the teacher. Ample opportunity will be provided each class for learners to share findings, interact with the teacher and each other, ask questions and share science thinking.

Learning Goals

Learning targets are listed in the class description.

Other Details

Learning Needs
All learners are welcome and the teacher will modify as needed to meet the needs of all learners.
Parental Guidance
Learners and parents will be provided with weekly updates for the following week. Students may need to use scissors, tape or other supplies. To ensure learner safety, it is suggested that adult guidance is provided when using materials such as scissors, tape with a metal cutter or other materials that may need supervision. The teacher will be proactive in suggesting parental guidance from week to week.
Supply List
A specific material list for each week will be provided one week before each class. Learners can gather standard materials such as a writing surface, writing tools, recycled materials, scissors and glue stick for class.
