Students will improve their critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. They will learn to be more persistent and creative. They will have fun completing exciting challenges.

I am a certified elementary school teacher. I taught science in a live classroom for 5 years and I've been teaching science on  Outschool for 3 years.

I will post the materials in the classroom one week before each class. **If you register after the weekly message is posted, you may not be able to see it in the classroom. I try my best to email the list to new students before their first class, depending on how last minute they register.

Materials are usually easy to find household items.

I also recommend students bring a notebook or folder with paper so they may record their findings each week!

If you are ever missing any of the materials, just let me know! There are always alternatives, or you can simply watch the activities and still enjoy the class!

Week of December 3: Toy Invention
Feel free to bring any craft materials you have at home. Here are a few ideas:
Recyclables
Fabric/felt
Popsicle sticks
Feathers/pom poms
Pipe cleaner
Tape
Glue
Scissors
String/ribbon
**If you have any robotics supplies and would like to challenge yourself, you are welcome to bring them, but this is not required!

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Some of the challenges may require the use of scissors or possibly a hot glue gun and will require parental supervision. I will always indicate this in the classroom.
