Class Experience
US Grade 6 - 9
This is not a live class. This is a flexible schedule class. Each week in this 4-week course students will view an interesting interactive presentation about Food Chemistry. I will record weekly experiments and post them for the students to follow at home. The students will perform the experiments at home and can post pictures in the Outschool classroom of their final product. Throughout the lesson the learners progress will be assessed through interactive games and questions within the Nearpod presentation. The presentation slides will be on Nearpod. The students will be provided a link and are NOT required to login to the site. I will be available through Outschool messaging to offer help for any student that needs additional help. Topics Covered: Week 1 Chemistry of bread making while making bread in a bag Week 2 Analyze various juices for Vitamin C content Week 3 Polymer Science while making Gummy Candy Week 4 Chemistry of cookie baking while baking cookies This class can be requested at anytime to fit your unique schedule. Send a request and I will send you a link to schedule the class.
Learning Goals
Each week students will learn the chemistry pertaining to the experiment of the week. In addition, students will learn how to make several food items from scratch.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Longwood College
Hi, I am very happy to have the opportunity to help your child learn and realize their full potential in Science. My classes are fun and exciting. Your Learners will learn all about Science while completing cool and fascinating experiments. In each class students will get the opportunity to perform fun but educational labs. They will learn how and why everything works. I'm a Chemist. I obtained a BS in Chemistry and Secondary Education with a minor in Computer Science from Longwood University. I have taught in the public school system teaching Chemistry and Mathematics on the High School level. In addition, I have taught Science classes on the Middle School level. I also teach ESL courses online. I also love crafting and cooking. I began learning to sew, knit, bake and cook at about 8 years old at home and in the 4-H club. Since College I have also fell in love with real estate, and have become a real estate investor. It's like real life monopoly. Real estate investing is fun and challenging all in one.
Currently I am a Chemist for the Department of Transportation. What I do enjoy most about my job with the DOT is when I get the opportunity to work with STEM students throughout the year. They visit and I get to show them all the cool stuff I do at work. I have always had a love for science and teaching. I would always find a way to do experiments and teach my dolls as a kid. I love teaching so much and can't wait to possibly inspire more future Scientist.Reviews
