Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Budding scientists and nature lovers don't need any prior knowledge to take this class. They only need an interest in how nature works! Some of the things we will learn through discussion, photos, and videos include: 
* producer, consumer, and decomposer levels 
* why plants are so vital
* types of consumers: herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores 
* energy transfer
* who decomposers are and what their role is
* how food chains fit into a larger food web
Students will be encouraged to participate by contributing anything they know and asking questions about what they don't know. 

I follow Outschool's policies for refunds (information in the link below). That means I don't give refunds for classes missed without notice. However, if advanced notice is given I can transfer your student to a different section.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about the levels in a food chain and how they depend on each other.

Even though I love teaching ELA at a public school and here on Outschool, I also love science and nature! I've done a lot of research on this topic and feel qualified to share what I've learned with interested students.
