Students will understand the basics of Physical Science that are required for a Science credit or enrichment. 

I have forty years of teaching experience at the middle and high school levels. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a minor in Art. Plus, I am a lifetime certified, secondary teacher who continues to learn and teach online. 
I've taught Physical Science, Biology, Advanced Biology, Genetics, and Forensics at all levels.

Homework Offered
Homework is assigned every week for students who request a grade. Students submit it via their OS email to the instructor. The instructor then logs completed assignments. Students will orally review all homework they have done during the class period. If they have an error, they are allowed to make corrections and resubmit. 

Students who do not need a credit but want to cover the material for enrichment do not need to complete homework; however, students gain more from the course by participating. They will need to gain some knowledge by reading or watching required videos. 
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students will be assessed with periodic practice online quizzes and students can record their results privately. Their grade is not solely on these results. Students grades are based on a point system. Each assignment turned in is logged into my grade book for accountability. The class reviews the homework orally during class time. If they have found an error, they may correct it as we go along. Actual weekly tests are not given. Assessments are done orally.

Class discussions, submitted assignments, and oral assessments are what I base the student's grade on. 
The Project and presentation will be peer-assessed. I have an online rubric that students fill in and is privately submitted automatically. Presentations are required to receive a completed grade. 

Prerequisites: Excellent reader (8th-grade level), ability to follow instructions, writing/spelling ability (8th-grade level), and ability to work independently to complete assignments on time. 

An online text will be provided. I will not state which text we will use due to the possibility of it being removed from the internet at any time. I do have several online texts that I may tap into if needed. I will state that these are public school texts from varying states in the US. Presently, we will use the Holt or Glencoe Science and Technology Text. There is no need to purchase as it will be all online; including the workbook. This is a huge savings.
