This is an ongoing class designed to cover Earth & space science and biology. It will be taught through lectures and slides for those who are auditory and/or visual learners. It will also have interactive activities, experiments, videos, discussions, and games to help students remember the material being taught. Each lesson will cover something new, so students may join in at any time without feeling lost. Sometimes homework will be assigned in the form of a worksheet to be completed, an informative essay to be written, or a project to be made.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I went to school for a teaching degree with a major in English and a minor in science. I later went back to add on a history degree. Throughout the years in brick and mortar schools, I taught high school English (general, pre-AP, and at-risk), AP American history, AP world history, chemistry, AP biology, pre-AP anatomy, middle school Earth and life sciences, and IPC.
I was also a scout troop leader for nearly a decade where I taught life skills and made several themed book camps for the scouts. I love to dive into book series with students to promote a love of reading and understanding. I was that kid that waited outside of Barnes and Noble for it to open at midnight on the Tuesday release days of each Harry Potter book (after I read the first one). My goal is to not only get students to want to continue reading the following books in the series I teach, but to have them take a closer look into them and learn about different literary devices. I also have a love of history and always seek multiple views of historic events. Science fascinates me with its ever evolving discoveries. I love when my students get excited to learn more about a subject.
