Class experience

In this second semester of a 15-week class that covers one semester, students will meet once a week and will also be expected to complete homework at home. This class will focus on aspects of Life Science including cells, the characteristics of living things, plants, animals, habitats, and ecology. Generally, Semester 2 is taken after taking Life Science Semester 1, however, it is not a pre-requisite and they can be taken in any order. Paper and pencil will need to be available for each...
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 my daughter for 8 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. Most homework will be an at-home experiment but might also include worksheets or reports.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

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...
