US Grade 8 - 11
This is a flex class. You will watch the video lesson (4 videos at approximately 20- 30 minutes each). Then, you will engage in the interactive activities, class discussions on the classroom tab, and assignments. The assignments can be submitted in the private message tab or the classroom tab The class takes approximately 45 minutes to complete for each session. The class is divided into four sessions. We will be covering the following criteria: Skeletal system- function, bone basic growth and development, axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton, and classifying fractures. The lesson will follow the following session order: 1. Introduction to bones- growth, characteristics, and categorizing the bones. 2. Appendicular skeleton- naming the bones of the appendicular skeleton 3. Axial skeleton- naming the bones of the axial skeleton. 4. Classifying fractures. Communication throughout each session will include the following: I will use a variety of learning materials for this course to include: powerpoint presentations presented during the weekly class recorded video session, video/animated modeled, interactive online activities, and worksheets. I will be providing students with a hyperdocument worksheet to complete for each section where all the outside links are accessible (such as purpose game/free anatomy games/Quizlet/ Quizizz), and problem sets to complete. Students will not need to have accounts for any of the activities and games. By the end of the four weeks students will have a great understanding of the skeletal system.
Learning Goals
The following is specific details about learning goals for each week.
Part 1.In this lesson we will cover bone composition, bone types and development. You will watch the presentation. Then on your document you will sort the types of the bones into their appropriate categories. Then you will identify the bone composition and phases of growth. In this lesson we will discuss Osteocytes, Osteoclasts, and Osteoblasts, Osteogenisus, epiphyseal plates, appositional growth, long bones, short bones, irregular bones, and flat bones. You will fill in your hyperdoc naming example
Part 2: In this lesson you will practice the Appendicular Skeleton with me by watching the demonstration and then completing your bone graphic. The bones we will name are: Scapula, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges, Femur, Patella, Tibia, Fibula, Tarsals, Metatarsals, and Calcaneus. Then, you will pause the video and engage in interactive games
Part 3 In this lesson you will be learning about the roles of the Axial Skeleton. After playing the games, review the video to watch the demonstration of naming the Axial Skeleton. We will practice naming the parts of the Cervical Vertebrae, Lumbar Vertebrae, Thoracic Vertebrae, Sternum, Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital, Zygomatic, Mandible, Maxillae, Vomer, Sacrum, Coccyx, Atlas and Axis bones. You then will go to the hyperdoc and engage in the interactive activities.
Part 4: In this lesson, you will return to the video and learn about fractures. You will be able to identify fractures based on description and x ray or cartoon images. You will be able to differentiate between closed and open fractures, complete, greenstick and compound fractures, transverse, longitudinal, and oblique fractures, as well as depression fractures, impacted fractures and more. You will learn the process of bone repair. You will be able to sequence the steps of bone repair. You will be able to play interactive games and practice worksheets to review.

Hello! My name is Abbie Butler. Take a look around and feel free to message me with questions or requests.
Note: I'll be away on maternity leave from December 21, 2024- January 26, 2025. During this time I won't be holding any live lesson but flex lessons are still being offered.
Teaching Certifications and Specialties
I have a B.S. degree in Biology, and an AYA grades 7-12 teaching license in Life Sciences. I graduated from Muskingum University in 2013. I student taught in grades 7-8 and substitute taught for a year in grades pre k-12. I have taught High School Life Sciences (Biology/ Anatomy/ Zoology/ Oceanography/ Nutrition/ Botany/ Horticulture/ Environmental Science) and knit and crochet club for the past 10 years. I taught from 2013- spring 2019 in public and private schools. I am currently teaching full time online, since June 2019. This is my 4th year online teaching! So far I love it! I enjoy all areas of Life Sciences, as well as crocheting. Additionally, I have taught ESL online for a 2 years. I also tutored for exam prep - high school biology.
My lessons will focus on Anatomy, Biology, Zoology, Botany, Environmental Science, lab based lessons, as well as crochet classes for various ages ranging from 12-18. I also have private tutoring options.
Teaching Style
My teaching styles involve more of a hands on and student based practice/application process. There will be many areas of interaction and practice in the lessons. Most lessons are set up as a Quizizz lesson or powerpoint(large chunk of teaching the lesson), then do several practice questions (multiple choice, diagrams, matching), teach another small section, and then have another area of practice, finally review and summarize the lesson before saying goodbye.
Hobbies
I enjoy to go bike riding, fishing, going for walks and enjoying nature. I like to bake, or at least attempt to! My hobbies are crocheting and trying to make crafts with my cricut machine . I love spending time with my family.
Experience Crocheting
I have crocheted for 14 years. I am left handed. I will do my best to explain and model as many techniques as possible in class. I will also provide crochet YouTube videos to assist you! Crocheting is fun and can act as a stress relief, motivating and inspiring creative ideas.
Experience tutoring for OGT, OAA, NCSE, Science End of Course exams aligned with Ohio state standards and which are generally modeled from NGSS standards.
My Teaching Philosophy and Future Growth
My philosophy is you learn best when you are involved in your learning. My focus is for you to comprehend the content for mastery and long term use. It is easier to learn with practice and activities rather than lecture the entire lesson. Therefore, class will have various dynamics and interactions.
We will have a lot of fun in class. You will leave my classroom confident with your new content knowledge. I will also ensure you have enough practice resources and variation to continue learning outside of class. Items will be shared via hyperdocs made with google docs the day of class.
Cancellations
If a class does not have the minimum learners then, I will contact enrolled students and discuss how they would like to proceed. Options: run the class with the low enrollment or transfer to a different section a week or two later.
If no students arrive when class starts, I will wait 5-10 minutes and then begin making a recording students can view anytime afterwards.
Refunds and Transfers
Most classes operate under the 'Limited' refund model. Learners can withdraw with a refund up to a week before class starts, or within 24 hours of purchase. Refunds will not be sent for withdrawals outside this window, but transfers may be requested up to 24 hours before class.
No-shows will not receive a refund, but may be offered video recordings.
Class Recordings
I typically post the recording if the parents ask, in general, I try to weekly if I remember to post it automatically with no request. Families can access this recording in the same classroom from which they launched the live course.
Flex Classes
I do currently offer a few selected flex classes, but I am currently working on revamping the classes so most of my flex classes are not available at this time. I post recordings of every class I teach, which can be used with class materials to complete the course on the learner's schedule. Activities in flex classes are interactive and engaging still. I actually model my flex classes off of a few of my popular live classes.
