Welcome to third and fourth grade science! *Semesters do not have to be taken in order* In this class, you will find that we are always exploring new topics, creating activities and experiments to help us better understand what we've learned, and anwering lots of questions that students develop along the way! Class will start with a short, interactive presentation followed by an activity or experiment. Each week I will post the supplies in the classroom. I always do my best to help students substitute if they can't find the items needed. After class, I will post an optional post-activity that may include videos, worksheets, or another hands-on activity or experiment. Take a look at the topics for this semester! Week one: Sound waves - Introduction to different sound waves and sounds in different settings Week two: Sound waves - Continue experiments with sound waves Week three: Sound waves and seismology- Make a seismograph Week four: Light waves - Light beams in water Week five: Light waves - Light waves through substances Week six: Energy transfer - Moving objects Week seven: Energy transfer - S'more energy Week eight: Introduction to renewable resources- Game Week nine: Non-renewable resources- Oil company activity/game Week ten: Using a renewnable energy- DIY solar ovens If you don't see a day and time that work for your schedule, please reach out or take a look at other semesters! :) https://outschool.com/classes/third-and-fourth-grade-science-full-curriculum-semester-1-6ftotD1d https://outschool.com/classes/third-and-fourth-grade-science-full-curriculum-semester-2-xegUn5Gn

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am so happy you ventured over to my science learning lab!
My goal is for students to have fun, maybe get messy, and gain a love for science! My teaching style is interactive and hands-on as I try to bring science to life. My classes work well for the kinesthetic learner.
You will find that most of my classes have a hands-on component to complement the learning experience and my presentations are very visual.
I do my very best to keep prices lower than average as I understand how quickly classes add up for parents. Keeping the prices lower also helps parents as there are material lists for experiments and activities. However, almost every class that I have has a coupon! Please reach out if you need assistance.
When I am not teaching I love to spend time with my daughter outside, gardening, raising chicks, and learning new skills. My goal is to combine some of my hobbies while teaching.
I have been teaching environmental science to students in pre-k through 12th grade for over 12 years. I have taught in various settings including outdoors, in classrooms, and online. I currently run my own business developing and delivering science lessons and custom curriculums to students in school settings, early learning centers, scouts, libraries, and more! I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Sociology in 2016 and my M.S. in Resilient and Sustainable Communities in 2019.
