What better time to learn about the superpowers of soap then during a pandemic? We'll kick of our class by revealing the question of the day from the magic hat: How does soap fight germs? Then, we will have a check in to see how we are feeling. Our mini lesson will be loaded with fun facts about how soap works. Class will culminate with two fun science experiments that demonstrate the superpowers of soap. In each experiment, we will practice the steps of the scientific method including making observations, asking questions, sharing our hypothesis, and drawing conclusions.
Learning Goals
Students will understand how soap works and practice the steps of the scientific method.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching K-6 science for two decades in San Francisco, CA and I have a BA in Biology and an M.Ed. from the University of San Francisco. Most recently, I was the Lower School Science Specialist at the Hamlin School for Girls for sixteen years. I love teaching fun, hands-on science classes that use everyday materials you can find around your house. My classes foster curiosity and enthusiasm for science, building a foundation for life long learning. I recently founded my own small business called "Girl Power Science" and I teach in person classes that empower girls age 8 - 11 to engage in hands-on science with confidence. I have a ten year old daughter and she has 38 pet snails and a caterpillar that is in the process of turning into a butterfly in its' chrysalis.Reviews
