This self-paced course will cover the High School NGSS Physical Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! Real-world problems, situations, and problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course. Students will have multiple performance assessments throughout the course in order to assess their understanding in addition to experiments. The course schedule can be found in the syllabus. The weekly schedule will include the following: Monday: Nearpod lesson with video exposure and instruction of the concept will be posted. Students will be given an assignment to complete by Friday. Some lessons will also have an experiment for students to complete. Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday: Students will work on their assignment and experiment on their own. They can message me for additional assistance during this time. Friday: Students turn in assignments for individual feedback and can request extra practice and resources. Students will participate in engaging and interactive platforms such as Nearpod, Gimkit, and PhET simulations. The materials for the experiments will be posted at the beginning of each unit. Due to the fact that this is a self-paced course, students who are already taking High School Physics can enroll for additional support and practice. Homeschooled students can enroll in a complete High School Physics curriculum by completing all three parts of this flexible course.

Welcome to Seed and Stem Learning Center by Bailey Nelson and Kenneth Kirk!
As a prior public school teacher, Bailey experienced the positive difference that scientific inquiry can have on students. Kenneth, who received his Bachelor's of Business Degree in Economics, found a passion in educating young students the improtance of financial literacy and business education. Bailey and Ken used this inspiration to create a program that allows students to connect across the globe through quality and inclusive education.
Although students take classes virtually, they will be inspired through hands-on and real-world applications and problems. Through our engaging courses, students will develop (or enhance) their love of all subjects by connecting to real-life applications and problems.
Teachers and tutors are all vetted through a rigorous process that focuses on scientific inquiry, problem-based learning, and hands-on pedagogy. Teachers come from a variety of backgrounds including education, economics, engineering, and computer science.
Course Policies:
*Students must provide a camera check at the beginning of class to ensure safety for all learners unless verified by Outschool.
*Ongoing classes are charged on a weekly basis. Prorated refunds based on days attended during the week will not be provided. All class recordings and materials are provided if your learner misses class.
