In this semester-long course (taken after Middle School Earth Science-Semester 1), middle school students (appropriate for grades 6th-8th) will continue to study Earth Science.

Class experience

US Grade 6 - 8
Students will be able to explore through lecture, experiments, demonstrations, homework, and discussion the five fields of Earth Science....astronomy, geology, environmental science, meteorology, and oceanography.
I was a middle school science teacher for 10 years. I have also homeschooled and graduated my daughter for 10 years. As a public school teacher, I taught Earth Science, Chemistry, Physical Science, Zoology, Biology, and more to hundreds of students. Science is a passion of mine and I find performing experiments both fascinating and illuminating when learning new scientific facts! In this class, students will have ample opportunity to perform their own experiments to reiterate the information they learn in class. I have my Bachelor's degree in Biology/Pre-Med and a Master's in Healthcare Administration.
Homework Offered
Homework is assigned each week at the end of class. Homework will be posted in the classroom. Please allow 1-2 hours for homework each week. Homework consists of home experiments as well as occasional worksheets.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
A letter grade will be given for each homework assignment that is uploaded. The parent will receive a teacher feedback report on the student's progress at the end of the course.
Grades Offered
