👉 I am not currently offering live coloring book classes but I am offering my Anatomy Coloring Book Club as a self-paced course! You will get the same lessons as I teach live but with a lot of extra material. While I love my live classes, the self paced ones provide more time for one-on-one interactions in the classroom. And there's also a whole new dimension of applying what we learn! I've chosen real-life application videos on YouTube and created discussion questions to really dig in to the topic in more detail. 😊 https://outschool.com/classes/anatomy-coloring-book-with-a-physician-learn-like-a-medical-student-part-1-KuuIC5Kg ❓Dr. Robin Created a Coloring Book❓ Yup! I had to because there wasn't anything good enough to use with my students! Anatomy coloring books meant for students are either silly clip art or throw lots of random information at you. Mine is designed to teach important concepts and give just the right amount of information. When it came out, it was the #1 new release in kids science on Amazon! 👉 click here to see/purchase the book we use in class: https://www.amazon.com/Robins-Anatomy-Coloring-Serious-Scientists/dp/B0DDVY1GPQ/ Original class description: As with all my classes, each session: -Starts with a light, topic-related warmup question -I teach using drawings, images, models, demonstrations, Socratic questioning, or other methods as appropriate -We will color the page(s) while discussing what we are learning, interspersed with more teaching. -I usually include the effect of a particular microbe on humans. -A short (2-4 minute) video focused on the microbe or a patient story related to the microbe -For students who are interested, I'll provide video link(s) in the classroom for further exploration after class but this is optional. You will need the coloring book. I've chosen The Microbiology Coloring Book from Rhonesniczell Publication because it has clear illustrations of a variety of microbes that are labelled. We will not be working through the book in order, so if you want to know what we're covering each week, just check the schedule below. :-) Here is the link to purchase the coloring book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BD3VYMGW/ I look forward to seeing you in class!

Learning Needs
Please message me so I can support your learner's needs. For example: calling on them without a raised hand, knowing that receptive language is ahead of expressive, not expecting participation. The coloring page is a summary ahead of class
Parental Guidance
Nothing in this class will be or is intended to be medical advice. This is merely educational in nature and will be a surface-level overview. Your student will not be coming out of this class knowing anything about how to diagnose or treat any conditions and we will not be discussing any personal medical questions/needs. Students should come with general questions about the topic.
All my classes make use of the wealth of information available on YouTube. In most class sessions, this is 3-4 minutes of an experiment or activity that we aren't able to easily do over zoom. Occasionally there will be more if that's absolutely necessary for getting the best educational experience. During class I only use the YouTube videos on screen share from my ad-free YouTube account in order to prevent students from seeing inappropriate ads or other materials. Your learner does not need to have an account. If the entire video we watched is kid-appropriate, I will post a link in the classroom after class and Outschool embeds the link so that students can't watch anything else. Watching it is entirely optional. If I selectively showed an appropriate portion of a video but the rest goes into medical details that are inappropriate for children, I will not post the link. Parents are able to message me directly for the link if desired.
Supply List
You will need: --The coloring book, The Microbiology Coloring Book from Rhonesniczell Publication: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BD3VYMGW/ --Colored pencils and a pencil sharpener will be necessary--do not use markers or pens as they will bleed through the pages. I use Crayola Twistables because they do not need sharpening and those are fine too.

As a family physician with a decade in private practice, years as a guest lecturer and adjunct faculty at a medical school, and 2000 hours of classes completed on Outschool, I love teaching young people about biology and how their bodies work. I believe that people who understand their bodies will take better care of them. I teach students from Outschool all the way up to medical school and am honored to be a part of their learning process.Reviews
