The human body is an amazing machine made up of systems, organs, tissues, & cells. Eating, walking, smelling, reading, and thinking require many body structures to work together. Let's explore the human body together! Learners will be able to participate in a live lessons, share ideas, and ask questions. Learners will be able to complete up to four hands-on laboratory activities, useful and demonstrative videos, helpful practice problems, live demonstration labs. Learners have the option to use the master supply list if they wish to complete the experiments with me. One week prior to each class a detailed daily class supply list, based on master supply list, will be provided. Learners will be able to interact and collaborate ideas with classmates during the class. Each will be encouraged to fully participate in each day's experiment. Here is a brief schedule of each week Summer of 2023 (subject to change). Week of (June 12): How the Body is Organized Week of (June 19): The Digestive System Week of (June 26): The Cardiovascular System Week of (July 10 ):The Respiratory System Week of (July 17): The Urinary System Week of (July 24): Skin Week of (July 31): The Skeletal System Week of (Aug 7): The Muscular System Week of (Aug 14):The Nervous System Week of (Aug 21): The Senses Week of (Aug 28): The Eyes Week of (Sept 4): The Ears

Parental Guidance
If the students desire to complete experiments along with me, parental supervision/oversight is suggested. All supplies are safe and common household items, however, the sequence of events are important for experiment success and fun. Students and parents are advised household chemicals and/or foods may cause sensitivity or allergy in some learners or individuals. Parental supervision and awareness of any allergies or other issues is encouraged.
Supply List
Cost for materials is $40-50 - the labware and tools are a one time upfront cost. Supplies list will be provided close to class start date.

I am enthusiastic about helping students become life long learners! My favorite question from learners is: "what would happen if?" Kids are naturally curious and my goal is to fuel curiosity via discussion and investigation with learners. One way I fuel curiosity in students is using nature or common everyday objects as examples in my classes. Nature has lots of math and science "baked-in". For example: the digging, building, planting and caring of a small garden helps learners see and experience how math and science apply to real-life situations.
I am an avid gardener and enjoy building things with my hands. Best part in my own lifelong learning process is when things don't go as planned. That, for me, is when curiosity and learning happen.
I enjoy teaching algebra, geometry, chemistry, biology, earth science, and forensic science. I am a homeschooling dad of 15+ years and math & science teacher of 10+ years in a traditional classroom. I have a Master's of Science in Geology, Master's of Art in Counseling, and Bachelor's of Science in Marine Science.Reviews
