Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this introduction to geology we will learn about what geology is, what are elements, and how they combine to make minerals. We will examine the importance of minerals, the rock cycle, soil, and how the Earth changes over time. 

Learners will investigate questions such as:

What is geology?
What is the difference between minerals and rocks?
How do rocks change?
What is soil and why is it important?
How do we study Earth? 

This is a highly interactive course. Students will learn through an image and video filled presentation and discussion. Students’ participation and questions are regularly encouraged. No previous knowledge in the subject is required. 

Classes are designed to encourage student engagement and follow their curiosity.

Class One
- Introduction
- Elements

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 cat named Eratosthenes! 

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