Beginner Level
Learners will receive small group tutoring. I will be able to help your learner grow their science knowledge in all areas of science, including Physical Science, Earth and Space Science, Life Science and Nature of Science! This class is aimed to work with students who are between grades 5th-8th or 11-14 years old. Once you sign your learner up, I will communicate with you to determine the needs of your learner. Specific topics I will have plenty of help and information for are: FIFTH GRADE TOPICS INCLUDE: Nature of Science: What is Science? How do Scientists Learn About the Natural World? How Can Scientists Learn from Observations? Performing a Controlled Experiment Space Science: What Objects are Part of the Solar System? How do we Observe Objects in Our Solar System? What are Stars? What are Galaxies? Physical Science: States of Matter & Changes in States of Matter Mixtures & Solutions Atomic Theory & Structure of an Atom Energy & Changes in Energy Static Electricity Electricity What are Forces? How Do Forces Affect Motion? Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Earth Science: What is the Water Cycle? Weather Patterns & Predicting Weather/How Do We Measure Weather? Weather vs Climate Life Science: Organs & Body Systems Plant & Animal Adaptations Changes in Environments & Engineering Process MIDDLE SCHOOL TOPICS INCLUDE: Physical Science: Elements and Compounds Pure Substances and Mixtures Acids & Bases The Periodic Table Properties and Changes in Matter Chemical Equations Atom Speed, Acceleration, and Velocity Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations Types of Forces Calculating Forces - Net Force For Earth Science: Plate Tectonics & Continental Drift Theory Types of Plate Boundaries Landforms - Volcanoes, Mountains, Rift Valleys Earth’s Interior - Layers of the Earth Weather and Climate Space Science: Star Cycle - Supernovas, Black Holes, etc. Planets - Order of Planets, what’s unique about them. Tides Moon Phases Life Cycle of Stars Properties of the Sun Life Science: Biomes, Ecosystems and Habitats Theory of Evolution and Natural Selection Food Webs/Chains Interactions in Ecosystems - Parasitism, Mutualism, and Commensalism Trophic Levels/Energy Transformations - Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers. Organ Systems Types of Cells Cellular Division Heredity (DNA and RNA), Punnett Squares, Pedigree Charts If your learner needs tutoring in other areas of science, please reach out and let me know. *Homework and grades can be provided if requested.
