In this class, learners will be taken through hands-on activities and lectures that will bring us around the Earth and into space. I like to teach with real-world applications in mind. The classes have been designed with national standards in mind - and they meet all the science requirements for fifth grade science. At the beginning of the series, learners will be able to choose from a bank of characters that they would like to be in the story. Each week, we will have hands-on activities, lecture, and a story-building exercise that brings it all to life. At the end of each week there is an assessment quiz to assess the overall understanding of the subject matter. Learners are also encouraged to use the classroom page to ask further questions and engage with the topics further between classes. Week 1: We Are Made of Star Stuff!

Orientación para padres
In this class, we will sometimes use scissors. Please use your parental judgement about whether safety scissors are needed. If a learner is prone to placing inappropriate items in their mouth I ask that an adult be present for those days we are using items such as acetone, hot water, glue, dish soap, marbles, or beads.
In this class, we will also use KAHOOT to conduct assessments. Learners will not need an account and will be given a game pin to use to access the assessment. All "digital materials" will be shared with learners through the Share Screen or Whiteboard tools in Zoom.

I have been teaching the sciences to students ranging in age from elementary to university levels for over a decade. I am passionate about providing the scientific foundations to the community. My degrees are in Animal Science, Fish &Wildlife, and Biochemistry. This course has been designed according to U.S. national standards with a small class size so that learners can feel more at ease in discussion and activities.Reseñas
