In Storytime Science, young learners will be introduced to exciting scientific concepts through engaging storytelling and fun, hands-on experiments and activities. Each session will explore topics like gravity, life cycles, weather, or the solar system, connecting them to a captivating story to make learning fun and relatable. The class is structured as a mix of storytelling and guided science experiments. We will begin each session with a read-aloud that introduces the science topic, followed by step-by-step instructions for an easy, at-home experiment or activity that brings the concept to life. I will teach through interactive discussions, guided experiments, and visual aids such as slides and videos to reinforce key ideas. My teaching style is hands-on and engaging, encouraging curiosity and making science accessible for all students. Learners will interact with me frequently through discussions, live demonstrations, and activities. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions and share their own discoveries during each session. This format keeps students engaged and ensures they are actively involved in their learning. - 🏢 September classes: “Iggy Peck, Architect” by Andrea Beaty (please have students bring legos, magnetic blocks, or any supplies around the house they can build with) - October classes: “What if You Had Animal Teeth” by Sandra Markle (paper, pencil, and coloring supplies) - 🐠 November classes: “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister (paper/various color paper, glue, aluminum foil, scissors) - ❄️ December classes: “Snowflake Bentley” by Jacqueline Briggs Martin ***as this is a true story, the story does recognize the death of Bentley and how he has been recognized for his contributions to science*** (see link for parent supported activity and supplies https://hearthandvine.com/how-to-make-crystals-at-home/) - ☁️ January classes: “Cloudette” by Tom Lichtenheld ***parent support required, please see experiment link for supplies https://coolscienceexperimentshq.com/make-a-cloud-form-in-a-jar/ ***
