Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Intermediate - Advanced Level
In this ongoing, weekly science class, learners will be presented with a new science topic each week. Lessons will be teacher-led from teacher-created Google Slides presentations consisting of informative, topic-related puzzles, games, videos, and interactive activities to help make learning science engaging, interesting and fun. 

WORKSHEET: Each lesson includes a printable Science Log to keep track of completed lessons and a printable weekly topic-related worksheet (handout) posted to the classroom on Sunday evenings at 9PM ET. The worksheets are an important part of the lesson because I design them to help learners record what they have learned, focus on the lesson content, follow along and remain engaged. The worksheet also serves as a form of evaluation so parents can review it with their learners after the lesson. 

Please make every effort to download and print the worksheet and gather any necessary materials before class begins so your learner is prepared and ready for class. I will display the worksheet on the screen to make it easier to complete. Some of the worksheets require glue or tape, colored pencils or crayons and scissors. 

**If you don't have access to a printer, you can download the worksheet to your learner's device BEFORE class begins so they can draw or write on their device to complete the worksheet.**

*NOTE #1: If you enroll during the week after Sunday evening, I will repost the worksheet for the week to the classroom, so please look for it and print it before class begins. 

**NOTE #2: I ask learners to arrive at least two minutes early to allow time for them to get settled. I  usually start class within one minute of  the scheduled start time to allow for the maximum learning experience. 

***NOTE #3: I prefer the children have their cameras turned on without a blurred background (the worksheet looks blank with a blurred background) and remain unmuted during class unless their environment is noisy or distracting. I ask frequent questions and call on children to read or answer. Waiting each time for learners to unmute before they talk takes away from everyone's learning time.

Learning Goals
Students will acquire knowledge of a different age-appropriate science topic each week.
Students will  demonstrate understanding of what they have learned by recording it on paper and discussing it both during and after class with their family.

Learning Needs
ESL students are welcome to take this class if their English level is intermediate or advanced. The content and pace will most likely be too fast for beginners. You could try a class to see if the pace is acceptable.
Supply List

You can download it to your learner's device so they can write on their screen to complete it in the event you don't have access to a printer. Please gather any necessary materials for class such as a pencil, crayons, markers, glue, scissors, or a ruler.
