Unraveling the Double Helix! Biology Class for Kids. Introduction to Genetics.
This is a biology class for kids focusing on genetics! In all of my classes, I present the information in an easy to understand way. My goal for each class is to get the students curious and interested in the topic at hand.

What Topics Will be Taught? All topics with a detailed description, are listed in the syllabus for week-by-week information. How is your class structured? While I do love us using PowerPoints, this is far from a lecture style class. I give students the opportunity to develop critical thinking through open-ended questions and discussion. I will present the week’s topic while working with the students to ensure understanding.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have taught chemistry, genetics, and biology for several years to the older homeschoolers in our co-op. We always have a lot of fun with these subjects. I have learned to take hard subjects and make them easier to understand for kids. Many learners that I have taught these subjects to have requested more classes on these topics. Reviews
