1 hora por semana. Learners will typically be assigned a comprehension worksheet, exploration challenge, "Thinking Beyond" article or follow-up video task after each session. These assignments should take no more than 30 minutes to one hour to complete, maximum. If student's are struggling with assignments, I am available for messaging or private tutoring sessions on most days. Completing assignments is optional based on each parent's preference, but students who participate in post-class assignments typically perform better in overall class discussions and comprehension.Evaluación

We will play fun games to reinforce learning concepts. Students do not have to have any prior knowledge of plant science to participate in this course. They will just need to come with a great attitude, ready and willing to learn and participate! At the completion of each unit, a comprehensive review assignment will be given and I will review and send out reports to each student regarding their absorption of the materials and their progress in the class. We will have experiments in class where each student can customize their experience. If they choose to observe they may, or they may choose to gather materials and duplicate the experiment at home, as well. A supplemental lab video will also be supplied to each student after that day's class. Supply lists for lab days are sent out well in advance. Come explore the fun world of plant science and learn more about these important and crucial living wonders!
