Join me in this third and fourth grade science adventure! This is quarter four of the full curricula. This quarter focuses on the scientific method. Each week students will conduct an experiment, make observations, collect data, and make conclusions. Some experiments will be classic while others are new. Even the classic experiments will come with new learning concepts and understandings. This class does require supplies. Students do not need to take these semester courses in order. Each week I will post optional worksheets and extra activities in the classroom for students to complete, if they choose. This is helpful for students who enjoy the topics and would like to continue being a scientist throughout the week! I will be available to answer any questions that students post in the classroom within 24 hours. I also encourage students/parents to post pictures of their work or experiments in the classroom. This is a fun way for students to connect as well! I encourage students to share stories, experiences, and any artifacts that they may have for the weekly topic! Theme: Working the Scientific Method Week #1-What is it? Experiment: Leak-Proof it! Week #2-Observation: How strong is an egg shell? Week #3-Gather information & Question: Why do apples turn brown?

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.
