Springing Into Science Is Fun! Listen & Learn Full Year Science Curriculum

In this ongoing, weekly science class, learners will be presented with a new science topic each week. Lessons will be teacher-led from 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 printable weekly topic-related worksheet (handout) posted to the classroom on Sunday evenings at 9PM EST. The worksheets are an important part of the lesson because I design them to help learners record what they are learning, 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, a ruler 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. Or you can duplicate the worksheet by hand so your learner can write on it in class.

*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. Please do your best to be on time.

***NOTE #3: I prefer the children have their cameras turned on without a blurred or virtual background and remain unmuted during class unless their environment is noisy or distracting. I ask frequent questions and call on children to respond. For this class, it's best to have learners sitting in a quiet room without external sound distractions.
