Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
This course will cover Middle School NGSS Life Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! As a licensed teacher, I believe that students learn science best through exploration and hands-on activities. Real-world problems, situations, and problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course.

Students will have a performance task at the end of the course in order to assess their understanding in addition to problem-based experiments. 

Due to the fact that this is a self-paced course, students who are already taking Life Science can enroll for additional support and practice. Homeschooled students can enroll for a complete life Science unit. Videos will be uploaded weekly along with practice assignments, homework, and additional resources. Students will use the Outschool classroom to access all materials and homework.

The suggested weekly schedule will include the following:
Monday: Pre-Recorded video lesson with exposure and instruction of the concept. Students will be given the assignment to complete by Thursday.
Tuesday-Friday: Students will work on assignments and complete discussions.

Bailey Nelson
Welcome to Seed and Stem Learning Center by Bailey Nelson and Kenneth Kirk! 

As a prior public school teacher, Bailey experienced the positive difference that scientific inquiry can have on students. Kenneth, who received his Bachelor's of Business Degree in Economics, found a passion in educating young students the improtance of financial literacy and business education. Bailey and Ken used this inspiration to create a program that allows students to connect across the globe through quality and inclusive education. 

Although students take classes virtually, they will be inspired through hands-on and real-world applications and problems. Through our engaging courses, students will develop (or enhance) their love of all subjects by connecting to real-life applications and problems.

Teachers and tutors are all vetted through a rigorous process that focuses on scientific inquiry, problem-based learning, and hands-on pedagogy. Teachers come from a variety of backgrounds including education, economics, engineering, and computer science.
