The purpose of this class is to allow the learners explore their creative skills to create a shatterproof egg drop to later review scientific explanations that lead to the egg breaking or staying in tact. We will talk about what it is about the egg shells that make them good for making chalk and we will talk about the properties of the food coloring that makes it "climb" the paper towel to make a caterpillar. My class will be hands-on with me demonstrating with the learners how to do the activities. My teaching style is encouraging in nature encouraging students to be creative and to participate in sharing their observations. No other experience is needed.
Learning Goals
Learners will improve their skills in gravity concepts and capillary viscosity (what makes the colors soak into the paper towel.). They will learn the components of the scientific method and focus on the engineering part. Furthermore, they will analyze the success of their creations.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hola. I am Amelia Richter or La Profe Richter and I am going into my 18th year teaching Spanish. I have taught every grade from preschool through University. My most fulfilling language teaching experiences have come from being able to immerse students in core content and I am lucky to do so as a 4th grade Spanish immersion teacher, teaching math & science 100% in Spanish! My strongest inspirations come from having 3 young daughters who I hope are raised in a world language rich environment.
I hold a Masters degree in Spanish Linguistics with a concentration in Second Language Acquisition and a minor in Literature from New Mexico State University. I have lived and studied in Madrid, Spain at La Universidad de San Luis on two occasions and did some undergraduate studies in Segovia, Spain while obtaining two Bachelor of Art degrees in Spanish & Psychology from Wheeling Jesuit University.
From my professional achievements being named WV Foreign Language teacher of the year for WVFLTA and in the preparation to create a portfolio for Regional Teacher of the year for SCOLT, I solidified my area of passion regarding foreign language teaching. I am passionate that students have access to multi-lingual, multilevel, culturally diverse, and content rich foreign language exposure from an early age. For the young child, I love to offer language exposure through stories and songs. For the middle, high school, or advanced student, I enjoy learning the language through compelling content. I am also a grammar geek & love to offer language study classes. My main goal is that students feel like they are building their proficiency in the language to use it. I hope in the future they will do their talent, skill, or job in another language and I hope they will make the world a more empathetic place with their global experiences through language learning!
An interesting fact about me is that I have the personal philosophy to always be learning a new language so that I can always remember what it's like to be in my students' shoes. With my linguistics background I have fluencies in Spanish & Italian. Additionally, I have studied Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, ASL, and I am currently trying to learn Portuguese and Romanian.
I would be honored to being a part of your child's language learning journey!Reviews
