Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11

This class will teach basic physics concepts by having students build projects. 
 Each week the students will  be assigned a project and we will go over the physics behind the project. We will discuss the parameters that the  students must operate within and safety concerns of each project as well as tips and materials necessary.  Part of the  class will also be spent  analyzing the results of the previous challenge as well.Students will have a one page lab report to complete with each...

I have a Master's in Liberal Arts from St. John's College. I worked as Assistant to the Director of Laboratory Science at St. John's for 5 years and I have been a high school science teacher for the last 13 years.  I have taught Physics to well over 1000 students.

Learners will have a project each week and an easy one page lab report where they will reflect on their experiment.
