Up front payment coupon: Get $40 off my class "High School Biology Semester Lab Class" with coupon code BUTLEKZ8RI40 until Sep 2, 2024 Are you interested in learning about the world around you? Do you ever wonder how scientists study the world and understand its' beauty? This 18 meeting course will provide you the foundation of High School Biology concepts. We will explore important scientists who laid the groundwork for the progression of science today. Be ready to learn the important techniques, methods, and principles of understanding the world around you. We will look into four major units of study: cells, genetics, evolution, and ecology. I will teach you the terminology, application to scenarios, real world data analysis, problem-solving, and understanding interrelatedness of concepts. This class will cover the main areas of study that I typically teach in a traditional class setting. This class does require you to complete activities or worksheets outside of class, which ranges from 15-60 minutes. I will use a few different methods to teach you. First, we will be viewing concepts via powerpoint presentation. Then we will practice vocabulary via Quizlet and Quizizz. Next, we will apply our knowledge with problem-solving using worksheets, online annotation, games. Finally, we will review via discussion, video, and data analysis. I will provide you with the resources for the week of class. Materials vary per week. The week of class you will receive materials ranging from guided notes, a copy of the vocabulary, worksheets, and a hyperdoc page with website links. Additional resources will be available to further practice outside of class. We will interact directly on the Outschool Classroom and use other resources as supplementary tools. The objective of this class is to cover the majority of the year of Biology concepts that you would typically encounter in a High School Biology setting. This class does not include lab work. I do offer a separate course for Biology labs. Note: This class is rigorous and will cover a lot in 9 weeks. Attentiveness and effort will be expected to succeed and master the vocabulary. Lesson 1.

Hello! My name is Abbie Butler. Take a look around and feel free to message me with questions or requests.
Note: I'll be away on maternity leave from December 21, 2024- January 26, 2025. During this time I won't be holding any live lesson but flex lessons are still being offered.
Teaching Certifications and Specialties
I have a B.S. degree in Biology, and an AYA grades 7-12 teaching license in Life Sciences. I graduated from Muskingum University in 2013. I student taught in grades 7-8 and substitute taught for a year in grades pre k-12. I have taught High School Life Sciences (Biology/ Anatomy/ Zoology/ Oceanography/ Nutrition/ Botany/ Horticulture/ Environmental Science) and knit and crochet club for the past 10 years. I taught from 2013- spring 2019 in public and private schools. I am currently teaching full time online, since June 2019. This is my 4th year online teaching! So far I love it! I enjoy all areas of Life Sciences, as well as crocheting. Additionally, I have taught ESL online for a 2 years. I also tutored for exam prep - high school biology.
My lessons will focus on Anatomy, Biology, Zoology, Botany, Environmental Science, lab based lessons, as well as crochet classes for various ages ranging from 12-18. I also have private tutoring options.
Teaching Style
My teaching styles involve more of a hands on and student based practice/application process. There will be many areas of interaction and practice in the lessons. Most lessons are set up as a Quizizz lesson or powerpoint(large chunk of teaching the lesson), then do several practice questions (multiple choice, diagrams, matching), teach another small section, and then have another area of practice, finally review and summarize the lesson before saying goodbye.
Hobbies
I enjoy to go bike riding, fishing, going for walks and enjoying nature. I like to bake, or at least attempt to! My hobbies are crocheting and trying to make crafts with my cricut machine . I love spending time with my family.
Experience Crocheting
I have crocheted for 14 years. I am left handed. I will do my best to explain and model as many techniques as possible in class. I will also provide crochet YouTube videos to assist you! Crocheting is fun and can act as a stress relief, motivating and inspiring creative ideas.
Experience tutoring for OGT, OAA, NCSE, Science End of Course exams aligned with Ohio state standards and which are generally modeled from NGSS standards.
My Teaching Philosophy and Future Growth
My philosophy is you learn best when you are involved in your learning. My focus is for you to comprehend the content for mastery and long term use. It is easier to learn with practice and activities rather than lecture the entire lesson. Therefore, class will have various dynamics and interactions.
We will have a lot of fun in class. You will leave my classroom confident with your new content knowledge. I will also ensure you have enough practice resources and variation to continue learning outside of class. Items will be shared via hyperdocs made with google docs the day of class.
Cancellations
If a class does not have the minimum learners then, I will contact enrolled students and discuss how they would like to proceed. Options: run the class with the low enrollment or transfer to a different section a week or two later.
If no students arrive when class starts, I will wait 5-10 minutes and then begin making a recording students can view anytime afterwards.
Refunds and Transfers
Most classes operate under the 'Limited' refund model. Learners can withdraw with a refund up to a week before class starts, or within 24 hours of purchase. Refunds will not be sent for withdrawals outside this window, but transfers may be requested up to 24 hours before class.
No-shows will not receive a refund, but may be offered video recordings.
Class Recordings
I typically post the recording if the parents ask, in general, I try to weekly if I remember to post it automatically with no request. Families can access this recording in the same classroom from which they launched the live course.
Flex Classes
I do currently offer a few selected flex classes, but I am currently working on revamping the classes so most of my flex classes are not available at this time. I post recordings of every class I teach, which can be used with class materials to complete the course on the learner's schedule. Activities in flex classes are interactive and engaging still. I actually model my flex classes off of a few of my popular live classes.

Thank you! I hope to see you soon!
