Simple Science Experiments (4 Week Course Feb 14 - Mar 7)
In this 4 week class, learners will complete their own hands-on activities as we investigate the basics of physics, chemistry, and biology in step-by-step teacher led experiments. Everyday household materials are needed.

Let's explore the world of science by completing Simple Science Experiments! Together students will follow along with step by step instructions on how to follow the scientific method in which the will ask questions, test their hypothesis and come to a conclusion to which will help them understand a science concept in a fun and hands on way! Topics that will be covered will include concepts from physics, chemistry, and biology. We will learn about physics concepts like how air moves under pressure and about reflective light. Chemistry concepts like how ink can separate into different colors and how to make gloop (a fan favorite). As well biology concepts such as what is living in the soil around your home and how to grow your own plants from dried seeds! In this 4 week class, students will participate in hands-on experiments! No prior knowledge is needed. Students will be responsible for coming to class with the prepared materials that are listed for that weeks experiment. Students will follow along as I instruct step-by-step on how to complete the experiment. Handouts may also be provided that will need to be printed out before class begins. 4 Week Topic Outline ⇢ Week 1 - Balloon Rocket: Fire a balloon rocket and see how forces do their job. ⇢ Week 2 - Sinking Diver: Watch air under pressure in this activity. ⇢ Week 3 - Floating Flowers: Float these flowers in water and watch what happens. ⇢ Week 4 - Surface Tension: Create beautiful patterns while experimenting with surface tension.
Learning Goals
Each week students will learn about a different science concept from physics, chemistry, or biology.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some supervision may be needed with using scissors and hot glue. I recommend hot glue for most of the experiments to have a better outcome. However you may messaged me before any class that these materials to either prep your student before or to determine if they could potentially complete the experiment on their own.
Supply List
All materials will be posted on our classroom page the week before class.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello learners!!! My name is Miss Jessica and I have been teaching science to all ages for the past 8 years. I am super excited to teach your learners about the world of science using a fun hands-on learning approach. I believe that children learn best when they are fully engaged through kinesthetic learning.
Experience includes:
- Bachelors of Science in Biology from Cal Poly Pomona
- Single Subject Science Teaching Credential
- 8 years teaching experience with High School, Middle School and Elementary
- Environmental Science, Biology, Physical Science and Physics
- Homeschool Mom and Part Time Charter School Teacher
My goal as a teacher is to encourage students to become more interested in science so they will want to learn more about the world around them. Science is in everything we do and many times students aren’t fully aware until a new light is shined upon a particular topic. My favorite part of teaching is, of course the science experiments, as well as the moment when a student learns the science behind something they were already familiar with but from taking my class learned and now appreciate a deeper understanding.Reviews
