**This is a self-paced class; there are no live meetings. Learners will watch the video lessons and interact with the different activities at their own pace. In this 4-lesson class, learners will be introduced to the science of hearing by learning fun facts about audiology, hearing, the different parts of the ear, and how we hear. Audiology is the study of hearing and balance. I earned my Doctorate Degree in Audiology after 8 years of school. I love this field and am excited to share my expertise in a fun and engaging way with young learners! The focus of this class is to introduce learners to the study of hearing. Together, we will learn fun facts about hearing, basic ear anatomy, and the fundamentals of how we hear. Learners are encouraged to engage by asking and answering questions throughout the lesson. Weekly Topics: --- Week 1 -- The Outer Ear --- Week 2 -- The Middle Ear --- Week 3 -- The Inner Ear --- Week 4 -- The Hearing Nerve and Temporal Lobe Each week learners will watch a 15 to 20-minute learning video and complete the provided worksheets.
Learning Goals
The goal of this course is to introduce learners to the world of audiology to increase their knowledge on how we hear.

Supply List
It will be helpful for learners to have access to a printer and printer paper to print certain materials each week. However, it is not required for the learners to have access to this, and they will be able to complete each week's activities with minimal materials that can easily be found around the home. Modifications can be made for certain projects as needed, and learner creativity is encouraged!
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Ms. Sarah! I am very excited to meet you! I recently finished 8 years of college and graduated with my Doctorate degree in Audiology (diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders) in May 2020! I have been a teacher in many ways over the last 13 years. I am a 5th degree black belt in taekwondo and have been teaching taekwondo to students ages 4-18 over the last 14 years. I have also been a math tutor for more than 11 years, teaching students math concepts ranging from basic mathematics learned in K5 through high school algebra II, both face-to-face and virtually. Other math prep courses I have taught include several ACT standardized testing math prep courses. In the last couple of years I have added teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) virtually to international students ages 4-15. I have a strong passion for teaching, and I love helping students succeed and become more confident and independent. I enjoy taekwondo, traveling, reading, fishing, and spending time with my family. I can't wait to meet you, and I hope to see your learner in my classroom soon!!Reviews
