Plant Science Flex Class

NOTE: Recordings will be anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hr 30 minutes, depending on the content for that week. In the last week, the videos might be less lengthy since we've covered a lot by then. Students will also need to print out their pages at home to follow with me in the video. There are about 5-10 pages to print out each week.

If students don’t have access to a printer there will be a digital PDF version for students to download and they may use Kami or any other program that allows them to write their answers on.

I will guide the students through a recorded video on the entire journal to ensure that students know how to fill in their interactive notebooks. Students will have the opportunity to pause and play the video as we are going through the lesson. Once done with the guided journal they will have an opportunity to work on Kahoot where they will reinforce what they learned.

In this class, I will teach students how to create their own interactive science notebooks that they can use for future references. We will cover all of the objectives and ensure that students understand each lesson as the weeks go by. I love this notebook because it is extremely interactive and students will enjoy doing all the activities that they're supposed to do in the journal. Students will also interact through "Quizizz" and we will play interactive games to help the student improve his/her knowledge through the lessons. It is very important that students learn all science concepts in a fun and interactive way and that is exactly what learners will be doing in this class.

***This is a flex course which means that we do not meet live, but there will still be interaction as students will interact with all their classmates through the discussions, videos that we will get to watch from each other when building a certain section, and responding to each other in discussions.

Topics in the interactive journal are as followed:

Week 1: Plant Structures

Week 2: Plant Reproduction

Week 3: Photosynthesis

Week 4: Assessment

By the end of the class, students should know all objectives and be ready to be successful in their science classes. Everyone always assumes that science is complicated but it doesn't have to be. I hope to see you in class soon!
