IMPORTANT: Due to low enrollments in the live classes, I encourage you to consider taking the “flex” version of this class. It contains the same content and can be taken on a flexible schedule. What’s more, I offer a “pay what you can” discount for all flex classes! Just sign up for the class and then send a message requesting your preferred discount. Here’s a link to the flex version of this course: https://outschool.com/classes/flex-class-pokmon-science-an-introduction-to-astronomy-kvN3edT2 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ COURSE SUMMARY ▬▬▬▬▬▬ This course is meant to be a very basic introduction to objects in space. While it is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of astronomy, we do cover all the different major objects of our solar system, the life cycle of stars, and the lack of evidence for aliens and alternate dimensions. All of these topics are framed in the context of Pokemon and their relationship to these astronomy concepts. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ COURSE OUTLINE ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ♦ Constellations • Greek constellations • Japanese constellations • Pokemon related to these constellations ♦ Stars • The life cycle of a star • Nebulae • Supernovae • Black holes • The Sun, our star ♦ Planets • The planets of our solar system • Exoplanets • Are there aliens from other planets? ♦ Moons • Moons in the Solar System • Our Moon • Moon Phases • Life on the moon? ♦ Other Objects in Space • Asteroids • Comets • Meteors • Can alien life come from meteors? ♦ Alternate Dimensions • Popularity in fiction • Is there any scientific evidence? • What about wormholes? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ SCHEDULE REQUESTS ▬▬▬▬▬▬ I create my entire teaching schedule based on schedule requests, so if you don't see a time that works for you, please put in a request! I can only teach live classes from 9 AM to 4 PM Arizona time. If you need to watch the class outside of this time frame, you can sign up for any section and then request the recording afterwards. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ MORE POKEMON CLASSES ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Are you interested in more classes involving Pokémon?

🎓 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 🎓
From 2005 to 2021 I was a highly certified teacher in Arizona, in Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. (I allowed my teaching license to lapse after becoming employed by the University of Arizona.) I have a Bachelor of Science in Earth and Space Science Education. I have four children ranging from 9 to 14 years of age. Besides teaching on Outschool, I am an advisor and educational outreach coordinator at the University of Arizona, and I also run my own small business giving astronomy shows in an inflatable planetarium for libraries and schools. In my spare time, I like to hike with my family, go on road trips, and volunteer with the Crisis Text Line (an organization that helps at-risk teens and young adults work through difficult situations).
📝 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 📝
Most of my classes come with projects or extension activities your child can do at home. Because every family situation is different, all of these activities and assignments are optional and at the discretion of the parent.
