Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Learners will understand foundational information about important astronomical concepts and be able to draw and/or explain these concepts.
I specialize in finding fun twists to standard curriculum to help my students build critical thinking skills as well as scientific knowledge. By adding a new twist to a familiar topic we can expand our thinking to include new possibilities. I have taught science to homeschool students since 2003 and during that time I have developed many teaching techniques and hands-on projects to help students explore concepts in new and exciting ways. I have also taught several classes specifically about astronomy in which I allowed students to lead the choice of topics, helping me to know what learners want to know about space. I regularly conduct research and follow the NASA website to make sure I am using the most up-to-date information possible.
I post in the classroom weekly to let learners know what to bring, but it's typically household items like paper, pencil, ruler, colors, and maybe a calculator.
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Sometimes the idea of the Big Bang comes up in classes, so that may be discussed.
