Ever wondered what the universe is made of? As far as we know, everything that exists is made of elements from the Periodic Table. In this class we will explore a different element each week and learn fascinating facts about each and every one! In this class learners will: ~ Watch a slideshow giving background information about the element ~ Listen as I explain facts about the element ~ Discuss previous knowledge they may have of the element ~ Write facts about the element and either describe or draw something humans do with it ~ Draw an atom of the element ~ Watch short videos about the element, but videos would be 5 minutes or shorter After each class learners will know things like: ~ Name and symbol of an element ~ Atomic number and location on the Periodic Table ~ Melting, freezing, and boiling points of the element ~ Unusual reactions this element may have ~ How the element is typically found in nature ~ What humans tend to do with the element Topics will include: 2024-2025 School Year March 2025 ~ Mercury (Mar. 2-8) ~ Thallium (Mar. 9-15) ~ Lead (Mar. 16-22) ~ Bismuth (Mar. 23-29) April 2025 ~ Polonium (Apr. 6-12) ~ Astatine (Apr. 13-19) ~ Radon (Apr. 20-26) ~ Francium (Apr. 27-May 3) May 2025 ~ Radium (May 4-10) ~ Actinium (May 11-17) ~ Thorium (May 18-24) Summer 2025 ~ Protactinium (June 1-7) ~ Uranium (June 8-14) ~ Neptunium (June 15-21) NO CLASS JUNE 22-JULY 5 ~ Plutonium (July 6-12) ~ Americium (July 13-19) ~ Curium, Berkelium, Californium (July 20-26) ~ Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium (July 27-Aug. 2) ~ Lawrencium, Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium (Aug. 3-9) ~ Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium (Aug. 10-16) ~ Roentgenium, Copernicium, Nihonium, Flerovium (Aug. 17-23) ~ Moscovium, Livermorium, Tennessine, Oganesson (Aug. 24-30) School Year 2025-2026 September ~ Hydrogen (Sept. 7-13) ~ Helium (Sept. 14-20) ~ Lithium (Sept. 21-27)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from St. Cloud State University
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 for the last 15 years and during that time I have developed many teaching techniques and hands-on projects to help students explore concepts in new and exciting ways.Reviews
