US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
In this ongoing science club, students will complete a different hands on experiment or project each week. We will discuss the scientific method and share our results or completed project. Some of our experiments will be completed start to finish during class, others may need some time throughout the week to complete. This class will be very interactive. The students will participate in both structured learning and some socializing as well. At the beginning of each class, students will have an opportunity to share any science they did throughout the week! Materials needed for each class will be items easily found either at a grocery store or from amazon. A materials list will be provided one week in advance. This class does repeat lessons in my The Science Lab class, but is a great option for student only wanting to do the summer themed activities! * Week of June 31st - July 6th : Fireworks in a Jar A clear jar filled 3/4 way with water A container or jar with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil inside 4 liquid food colors ("free from artificial dyes" will not work in this experiment!) A spoon Optional: extra oil *NO class week of July 7th - July 13th* * Week of July 14th - July 20th: Jellyfish in a Bottle An empty disposable plastic bottle (soda, water, gatorade, etc) with the label removed Enough water to fill the bottle you bring Food coloring Plastic grocery bag Scissors * Week of July 21st - July 27th: Ice Cream in a Bag Gallon sized ziplock bag Sandwich sized ziplock bag 1 cup half and half (or dairy free alternative) 2 tablespoons sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 3 cups of ice ⅓ cup kosher salt Toppings of your choice, bowl, spoon Gloves * Week of July 28th - August 3rd: Salt Water Density 4 clear cups filled with water Small items such as beads or plastic gems that sink in plain water 2 tablespoons of salt 2 tablespoons of sugar 2 tablespoons of baking soda spoon * Week of August 4th - August 10th: Sunscreen Paintings Sunscreen Small plate Paintbrush Several sheets of black paper A few other colors of paper * Week of August 11th - August 17th: Sea Turtle Life Cycle White and Green playdough * Week of August 18th - August 24th: Bubbles Store bought bubbles 1 cup water 2 tablespoons of corn syrup 4 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid Bowl Large towel and a tray Bubble wands Spoon * Week of August 25th - August 31st: Candy Rainbow Skittles Water Several white bowls or small plates This class will run in the months of July and August with experiments, scientific concepts, and projects! If you are already enrolled in a section of The Science Lab, these experiments will also be covered in that class. (This schedule is subject to changes!) *Some of these experiments may be repeats of my one time classes, but repeating experiments is great for little scientists and gives them the opportunity to try different variables!*

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master’s Degree in Education from University of Maryland, College Park
Hello to Everyone! My name is Miss Meghan and I can’t wait to meet your child. I enjoy teaching a variety of classes for preschool and early elementary ages.
I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. At the beginning of my career, I worked extensively with autistic children in home settings designing programs to help students access the world around them in an empowering way. After my oldest daughter was born, I became a licensed childcare provider creating a home away from home for many children to grow and learn. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided it was time to explore other options and that is how I landed at Outschool. I am so grateful for this opportunity and love meeting new learners from all over the world.
I have a passion for instilling a love of learning in young children through exposure, messy play, and fun! I strongly believe that letting children delve into learning at their own level and allowing for different types of learning styles sets children up for a life long learning journey.
In addition to teaching on Outschool, I currently homeschool my youngest daughter and am very involved in her homeschool co-op and activities. My oldest daughter, who was homeschooled until high school, is trying public school for the first year! I feel so grateful to have a career that I love that also affords me the opportunity to spend time with my own children as well. In my free time, I enjoy art, brainstorming new lesson ideas, cross stitch, and reading!
I offer science, art, language arts, social studies, math, and social classes for preschool and early elementary groups, as well as social groups for neurodivergent learners! Please feel free to message me with any questions!
