🧪 🎨 Welcome to Kitchen Table Science! Each week, we will explore science and art in a new way. These are a combination of art projects and science projects put together. 👩🏫 In this class, I will guide the students as we do the science experiment together. I give opportunities for the learners to make their own hypotheses of how and why the experiment works. After they have made some guesses, I will guide them through the explanation. Learners are encouraged to do the experiments themselves. There will be time for questions and showing off the experiment as we go. 🧽***Since this is for young learners and might be a bit messy, having a parent nearby is highly recommended. Some topics are subject to change, but all changes will be posted in a timely manner. 🛒***The supply list below will be updated weekly to show the supplies needed for that week. I will also post it in the classroom on Sun or Mon. *** September: WATER AND AIR SCIENCE Week of Sept 15 - Optical Illusions Week of Sept 22 - straw rockets/gliders Oct: Fizzling “NOT SO SPOOKY” Science: (this month uses mostly baking soda and vinegar with a few other things added) Week of Oct 6 - Fruit Volcanos/Hidden Colors Week of Oct 20 - Self-inflating Balloon Week of Oct 27 - Fizzy Salt Pictures NOV: FALL SCIENCE Week of Nov 11 -Magic Spices/Applesauce oobleck Week of Nov 17 - Homemade butter/milk toast (EDIBLE SCIENCE!) - heavy whipping cream (1 pint is enough) - small jar with a lid that seals - 4 bowls - 2 spoons - 1-2 pieces of bread - CLEAN paintbrush - food coloring (any color) Week of Nov 24 - U.S. THANKSGIVING WEEK - NO CLASS DEC: Holiday Science: Week of Dec 6 - Crystal Candy Canes/Candy Cane Chemistry - 6 candy canes (big or little, either way) - 6 bowls or cups - 6 liquids (hot water, cold water, veggie oil, and then 3 liquids of your choice) - BORAX (found in the laundry aisle - tall glass or jar (I am using a mason jar) - pencil - string - pipe cleaners - spoon that is taller than your jar to stir it Week of Dec 13 - Bendy Candy Canes Week of Dec 27 - Gingerbread man chemistry Week of Dec 20 - Candy Cane Fluffy Slime EACH FUTURE MONTH WILL HAVE A SEPARATE THEME.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love looking around me and asking questions. "What if....?" Science is full of "what if" questions. Come explore simple science experiments with me. Most of the items can be found around your home or easily found at the store. I also have a love for math... especially math games. Join me as we make math fun! Many parents and learners appreciate the way I bring laughter to the classroom.
I have been an educator for 10 years: online ESL teacher for 5 years, and a Kindergarten teacher for 5 years before that. I have worked with children of all ages in various summer school and online activities. I have a Bachelor's in Music Education from Boise State University and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from Multnomah University. I live in Idaho, USA with my husband and my 2 young daughters (Ages 2 and 5). We enjoy reading books, getting a little messy, and taking walks together.
