Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3
In this 4 unit self-paced class, students will learn about 4 science concepts (buoyancy, solubility, magnetism, density) through simple science experiments. The part 2 class can be completed before or after this one!
Each unit will include 1-2 videos (containing the lesson of the week and step by step directions on how to do the experiment.) There will be a worksheet posted to go along with the experiment. 

Here is the breakdown of the units:
Unit 1: Density Rainbows
Unit 2: Buoyancy Dancing Raisins
Unit 3: Solubility Discovery
Unit 4: Magical Magnetism

I am looking forward to teaching your children!

Syllabus

4 Lessons
over 4 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Density
 In this lesson, students will study to concept of density. They will learn how this relates to sinking and floating through a simple hands-on activity. Students will explore this concept further by creating density rainbows. 
15 mins of video lessons
Lesson 2:
Buoyancy
 In this lesson, students will study to concept of buoyancy. They will test out this concept with a basic exercise. Students will learn about different objects that are buoyant and will test this out with an orange experiment. Next, students will complete the Dancing Raisins experiment. The lesson will finish with a buoyancy sorting game. 
14 mins of video lessons
Lesson 3:
Solubility
 In this lesson, students will study to concept of solubility. They will first learn the science terminology related to the lesson. Ms. Erin will explain a few optional science experiments that students can try out after class. Next, Ms. Erin will help the students set up their charts for the main experiment. Finally, students will complete the solubility experiment and record their data. 
13 mins of video lessons
Lesson 4:
Magnetism
 In this lesson, students will study to concept of magnetism. Students will learn all about how magnets work. Throughout the lesson, Ms. Erin will show the students exciting experiments they can try out using magnets at home. Ms. Erin will help the students set up their charts for the main experiment. Finally, students will complete the magnetism experiment and record their data.
