US Grade 5 - 8
Join us to review Middle School Science. Class will start with introductions each week, followed by a brief warmup with some vocabulary. When our brains are hot and ready to go, we will play a fun and exciting JeopardyLab. Topics include those covered throughout Middle School Science courses in Earth, Life, and Physical Sciences. Each week features a new batch of exciting questions compiled from warm-ups, quizzes and tests used in 5, 6, 7, and 8 grades. Learners are divided into teams and we play like the popular TV game show with each team earning points. Stay with the class for the duration to review all of Middle School Science, or pop in for a lively game as your schedule allows.
Learning Goals
Students will review National Science Education Standards for grades 5-8.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Kristin. I was a licensed Teacher in Oregon prior to having children (ages 8-12) and focusing on their education. I earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching degree from Western Oregon University in Middle and Secondary Education for Science and Health.
Most my classes focus in health and science, particularly the Middle School level, as I’ve found I enjoy that age group the best. I do have many interests and hobbies, so some classes venture outside the core academic realm and into hobby land. We live in southern Colorado on a small ranch where we enjoy animals, gardening, and self sufficiency in a very challenging climate.
My goal is to instill a desire to learn with lessons that are meaningful and enjoyable. I remember sitting in a desk in front of a whiteboard, bored out of my mind, thinking, “There is no way I will EVER need to know this!” Yet, when I became an adult, I quickly realized, that yes, I did need to know most of the information I was taught. I have needed to go back and relearn much of what I previously ignored as useless information. When you can apply information to your life it becomes meaningful. I like lessons to focus on application: how can I use this knowledge in MY life; why do I need to know this? I am so excited to meet your child and help them apply the knowledge they're acquiring to their life!
