Science Vocabulary 2

In this ongoing course, we learn and play games using Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other STEM terms and definitions. This is great for middle/high school afterschool enrichment or homeschooling.

Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
In this course we will learn terms and definitions from different scientific disciplines (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Physics).  Each week 15 terms and definitions will be posted the day before class, then presented by PowerPoint slides during class.  We will conclude class by playing games like Kahoot!, Quizlet, Blooket, and Gimkit with the terms and definitions covered in class.

The current schedule is shown below.  Please note that the topic order or content is subject to change.  I will continually update this description.  In addition, at the end of each class I will indicate the topic of the following week.  The terms and definitions will be posted to the classroom the day before class.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Science from Rutgers University and UMDNJ
I am a scientist turned stay at home mom. While getting my Master's degree in Biochemistry, I taught General Biology lab and an Introduction to Molecular Biology Research lab to undergraduates.  I have worked as a medical laboratory technician in a hospital and as a biochemist in drug discovery and early phase clinical trials within the pharmaceutical industry. I left that role to stay at home and homeschool my 2e son.  Since he was a different learner, we explored all ways of learning and trying to make it fun.
I began teaching online by teaching English to kids in China.  I enjoyed it, but Outschool allows me to go back to my scientific roots and share it with others. I hope to design and deliver classes that will share my knowledge from working as a scientist and get learners as interested and excited about science as I am.
