Class experience
US Grade 5 - 7
In this two session online course, we will discuss the solar system we live in and the eight planets contained in it. No prior knowledge is required. Hand-outs will be provided.

I have a relaxed teaching style and there will be opportunities for questions during the class. I can also be reached by email. Learners will benefit...
Learners will improve their understanding of the solar system we live in and each of the eight planets contained in it.
I have taught science at all grade levels in public schools home schools and college. My first college degree is in Secondary Education (grades 6-12) with four concentrations (including Biology, Earth Science, and Life Science) so I am certified to teach this subject at those levels. I am also certified as a EC-Grade 4 Generalist and a Grades 4-8 Generalist.
Homework Offered
Learners may need extra time after class to read their book. Learners will benefit most if they read over any material that they can find about the eight planets of our solar system prior to the class time.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
