Class Experience

In this ongoing class, learners will watch and discuss videos from the educational YouTube channel Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell. While learning about the newest advances in science and technology, students will practice critical thinking and discussion with peers.  

Students will practice analyzing videos for structure and content.

Learners will develop their skills in:

- Communication skills
- Analyzing information
- Critical thinking 

The instructor will guide the group discussion, presenting discussion questions, additional background information and encouraging respectful participation. This is a highly interactive class. 

The link to the video of the week will be provided in the Outschool classroom. Learners will not need to leave the Outschool website in order to view the video. 

Captions can be enabled on videos.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Master's Degree from American Military University

Hello! My name is Arwen, and I am absolutely passionate about space science, the environment, and teaching! I offer courses about the solar system, planets, natural processes, soil, and the environment. I am a NASA Solar System Ambassador and science author. My Master's is in Space Science, and I have undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Ecology, and Natural Resource Management. I am currently working on a doctorate in STEM education. 

I believe curiosity and learning are human instincts. I try to honor that by asking the learners lots of questions and encouraging them to think about information in new ways.

When not teaching, you can find me hosting "Found in Space: A Science Podcast for Kids and Teens" or playing Dungeons and Dragons and exploring the Southwest with my three homeschooled kiddos and our big, fluffy orange cat named Moose! 

I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.
