🧑🔬 Welcome Scientists! 👨🔬 Are you ready to conduct some awe-inspiring experiments? 🧪 Every student will be exposed to a plethora of creative and fun hands-on science experiments. As class meets one time each week, every meeting will consist of a different experiment and materials. 🧪 Our class provides students with a hands-on learning experience of various science concepts, including but not limited to: chemistry, engineering and more! We complete a multitude of activities ranging from chemical reactions, S.T.E.M., etc. 🧪 Each experiment and activity will encourage students to identify the various concepts of science behind what they are doing weekly. Science is about DOING, TESTING, and OBSERVING from beginning to end. PLUS, students will have tons of fun in class! 🗣️ Another great opportunity with our class will be the discussion with other students! Students have the opportunity to converse with peers, and to listen to shared experiences. Students can join class at any time, as classes do not build upon one another! ———————JANUARY EXPERIMENTS——————— (Jan. 6th - 10th) - Snowstorm In a Jar (Jan. 13th - 17th) - Melting Snowman (Jan. 20th - 24th) - What Melts Ice the Fastest?

Welcome! My name is Jessica (Teacher Jessica). I have my Master's in Elementary Education (multiple subjects)! I have taught in the 6th grade classroom, and as of the last four years I have been teaching here on Outschool!
My teaching experience has given me the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure all students can thrive inside and outside of the classroom. Being an elementary school teacher, I enjoy and have fun teaching in all areas; as you may notice with my class listings I enjoy doing a little bit of everything!
I love to enhance learning development, and to watch each student grow individually. I look forward to meeting your child!
Aside from work life, I have a husband and three little ones! Outside of teaching, we love to be outside in nature, reading is life, and family time is everything!Reviews
