Overview: This interactive science class for preschool and primary school students offers 38 unique lessons that cover scientific topics covered in most primary curriculums, including biology, earth science, physics, chemistry, and anatomy. It’s designed to spark curiosity, build knowledge, and foster a love for science through varied teaching methods and engaging activities, experiments, and discussion. My goal is for learners to gain a solid foundation in basic science concepts, to enrich and build their vocabulary and knowledge of the world, and to develop an interest and appreciation for our beautiful planet. As each class is designed to be complete and self-contained, learners have the flexibility to enroll in one lesson, select a few of their interest, or take them all. Each lesson is designed especially for young learners, with a focus on engagement, discussion, and interaction. The content is presented in a child-friendly manner, through slide shows, realia, demonstrations, experiments, and more! September 2024 to June 2025 Biology Lessons: 1.

Supply List
A one or two page worksheet will be posted for each class. Learners should bring a pencil, crayons and paper to each class. We sometimes need scissors and glue as well, so please check the classroom regularly for updates. For classes that require scissors, please supervise your learner as necessary. For some lessons, we will do an experiment. Learners are not required to do the experiment themselves, but if you wish to, I will post the materials in the classroom a few days prior to class.
