In this 4-lesson class, learners will be introduced to the science of sound, how sound waves travel through different spaces, and learn different properties of sound (frequency, intensity, speed). Audiology is the study of hearing and balance. I earned my Doctorate Degree in Audiology after 8 years of school. I love this field and am excited to share my expertise in a fun and engaging way with young learners! The focus of this class is to introduce learners to the science of sound. Together, we will learn about different aspects of sound, including frequency and intensity, how sound travels through different spaces, and how we perceive sounds in different ways.

Week 1 -- Sound & Sound Waves
Week 2 -- Speed of Sound
Week 3 -- Frequency of Sound
Week 4 -- Intensity of Sound

Learning Goals

The goal of this course is to introduce learners to the world of audiology to increase their knowledge on how sound waves work and various properties of sound.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! My name is Ms. Sarah! I am very excited to meet you! I recently finished 8 years of college and graduated with my Doctorate degree in Audiology (diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders) in May 2020! I have been a teacher in many ways over the last 13 years. I am a 6th degree black belt in taekwondo and have been teaching taekwondo to students ages 4-18 over the last 17 years. I have also been a math tutor for more than 16 years, teaching students math concepts ranging from basic mathematics learned in K5 through high school algebra II, both face-to-face and virtually. Other math prep courses I have taught include several ACT standardized testing math prep courses. In the last couple of years I have added teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) virtually to international students ages 4-15. I have a strong passion for teaching, and I love helping students succeed and become more confident and independent. I enjoy taekwondo, traveling, reading, fishing, and spending time with my family. I can't wait to meet you, and I hope to see your learner in my classroom soon!!
