Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
In this ongoing class, we will learn about a different scientific discovery or invention from history each week. Students can join anytime to learn about the scientist of the week. We will study the people involved in making the discovery and the science involved in it. I will provide a handout each week so that students can keep a record of what they learned in class. We will play a Kahoot game at the end of each class to review what we learned. I will also post a list of supplies for hands on activities when applicable to the scientist that we are studying.

I will use google slides presentations, short videos, class discussion, and Kahoot games to teach about each scientist or inventor. I love involving students in class discussions by asking questions. My goal is for students to learn about these scientist and hopefully be inspired to think about what they could invent someday. 

I enjoy teaching science to elementary students and I believe that an early love of science builds a foundation for future success!

Learning Goals

Students will learn about scientific discoveries or inventions and the lives of the people who were involved.

Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Human Development Family Studies from University of Akron
Hello! My name is Adrianne Hays. I am currently a homeschooling mom of two kids. We have been homeschooling for 10 years. Before teaching on outschool, I spent 5 years teaching math and science to preschool and elementary school students through our homeschool coop. As we moved online, I found that I enjoy teaching virtually. I love to involve students in discussions online and find ways to make digital classes interactive and hands-on. I started teaching on Outschool in 2020 and I absolutely LOVE it! The long term relationships I have built with families and students have been amazing. I have enjoyed coming alongside parents and helping them foster a love of learning in their children! 

If your family is interested in one of my classes but is financially not able to pay the price listed because of your current financial situation, please message me!

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development from the University of Akron and minors in psychology and family development. I am a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) and worked in a hospital setting with children before staying home with my own children. As a child life specialist, I helped children and families cope with the stress of hospitalization and illness through developmentally appropriate interventions including therapeutic play, preparation for procedures and education. I loved teaching children about anatomy and physiology in the hospital setting in a way that they could understand. I have always loved math and have enjoyed making math fun and encouraging students to see that they can be successful at learning tough math concepts! I also have a passion for child development theory and psychology. 

I believe learning should be fun! I have loved watching my own children and those I teach grasp concepts for the first time. I think children learn naturally and I hope to inspire them to want to explore concepts and follow their interests to learn more in the future. I think that developing relationships is an important part of teaching and something as simple as calling a student by name and getting to know their interests can make a huge difference!

I currently live in the Bay Area after living in the Chicago area for 7 years. I love going to museums! I am a museum membership collector! :-) I love running, trying new foods, and exploring new places!  As a homeschool mom, I am enjoying relearning history, Chemistry, Algebra and more! I love reading mystery fiction with a good twist at the end.
