What's included

Homework
In addition to watching and responding to the instructional videos, each class will have some sort of homework opportunity for further learning. I will post 2-5 options, and students may choose the assignment that interests them the most. Once their assignment is complete, they should share about it in the classroom. Homework should take less than 30m a week to complete and may include further reading, simple experiments, continued observations, or another relevant option.

Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Do you have a child who loves physics?  This class is a semester-long survey of beginning science concepts in physics and includes all of the physics material from my Science Foundations classes.  Students are not required to have any prior scientific experience.

Schedule:
Week 1 - Energy
                --What is energy and what are the different kinds of energy?
Week 2 - Sound
                --A closer look at sound as a result of energy.
Week 3 - Forms of Energy
                --Learn the differences between kinetic and potential energy.
Week 4 & 5 - Force
                --What is force and how is it related to energy?
Week 6 - Matter and Energy
               --The difference between matter and energy.
Week 7 - Inertia
                --Left alone, things in motion stay in motion and things at rest stay at rest.
Week 8 - Friction
                --Concept of friction and everyday applications.
Week 9 - Push Pushes Back
                --Newton's third law of motion.

**Class Format**
This is a flexible schedule class with NO live meetings.

Monday
              --Prerecorded instructional videos will be posted by 8am (MST) each Monday.  Videos will be 10-20 minutes in length.

Wednesday
              --By Wednesday of each week, each student will need to post in the classroom a short written or video response to the video as well as a picture of the entry they made in their science journal about that weeks topic.

Friday
               --In addition, students will also be required to complete a small homework assignment by Friday.  These assignments will be posted at the same time as the instructional videos on Mondays, so students will have the entire week to work on them.  Don't wait until the last minute!  For more on the homework, see the homework section below.

Other Details

Supply List
Notebook of choice to be used as a science journal.  Please find a journal that plays to their unique needs and/or strengths.  Past students have used art journals with blank pages, standard wide or college ruled spiral notebooks, and primary composition journals in which the top of the page is blank and the bottom has handwriting lined space.  Each of these type of notebooks are widely available and generally cost $1-5.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have six years of experience teaching this material in a co-op/classroom setting and with my own children.  Children are born scientists and I hope to help enkindle that passion for continued scientific learning as they grow older.
