Physics and Chemistry: Middle School (With Textbook)

General Info:
This class is a full course covering Life Science. Please find all content and topics in the syllabus. Content does not necessarily build, but flows in an organizational manner that makes sense for covering topics. 

About the Teacher:
I am a certified teacher in various topics, which I teach on Outschool, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees. I strive to align my classes with state standards and GED and ACT topics. Each week, your student will see a topic they need to master to pass those major tests. 

About this Class: 
This class is geared towards Middle School to High School grade levels. Each week, we cover a new topic using a variety of learning tools and methods for all styles of learners: discussion, lecture, trivia, videos, and more! Some weeks we practice the skills we learn in class, and others we cover more content. Students will have a textbook to follow along with through the weeks for more coverage of the topics, as well as additional activities, experiments, projects, and resources. 

Class is 45 minutes but might run over a few minutes on experiment days. We will have a fun hands-on experiment or project weekly in class. Please check the supplies list weekly to ensure your student can participate but I will list them weekly in class. I will provide a supply list in the first week. 

Following class each week, I will put a message in the Outschool classroom with a link to a Google folder where I provide my notes from class, resources, and more. I also link videos in the message for further coverage of topics.

Grading:
I do provide an overall grade for the class, but I require at least 2 activities to be turned in weekly to me to grade. Some documents have answer pages, so you can go through the work before submitting and mark things wrong, but if there is not an answer page provided, I will grade the work. Remember, work is not required, but if you desire a grade, I have to see your student’s work.

Helpful Information

1. This class is structured for 6th-9th or lower. My goal is to have students enroll and stay in the class for the full listed count of weeks so they get all the topics they need. 
2. Please let your student know that I love participation but it is not required. I do ask that they raise their hands to speak so everyone can feel heard and get to participate. 
3. Since this class is a course, if there are skipped weeks in the schedule you will be billed for them, but you will only pay for the total amount of weeks that the course is that you are enrolled for. 

Refund Policy: 
1.  If a makeup class is set by me due to a change on my end, you will not receive a refund. You can access recordings and all resources. 
2.   If you need to withdrawl or move sections, you will need to have this approved 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the session you are scheduled for. Otherwise, a refund or transfer will not be given.
