Students will be able to explore through lecture, experiments, demonstrations, homework, and discussion these topics in life science......cell science, plant and animal science, ecology.
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.

All experiments utilize household materials. Some experiments may be messy. Please read homework beforehand to determine if experiments need to be performed outside to save the house from a mess :-) Scissors will also be used in a few experiments. Please make sure your learner can independently handle them safely.
Summer Note: I will be on vacation from May 26th-June 1st, 2024. I will still be answering messages and available during that time, I just won't be as timely---there are some areas where I am traveling that don't have data/wifi. Hello students...
