Please note content does build but each class can also be taken as a stand-alone class, so you can join and leave anytime using the pay weekly option at no extra cost. All students will get a certificate of attendance with grades if they do the optional coursework.

Welcome to my Earth Science course, which focuses on some of the most dramatic physical forces on Earth, with the aim of making learning fun and exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable and bringing science to life is the best way to get kids engaged and learning without realising it. No previous experience necessary.

Please contact me if you need my Degree Certificates sent to you.


▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬
In this class we focus on all parts of the Earth Science school curriculum, with a new topic being introduced each week. All topics covered are an important part of any child's education in Geology, Meteorology, Physical Geography, Oceanography, Environmental Science, Astronomy and Space Science.

We cover dinosaurs, fossils, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, minerals & gems, the planets, ocean currents, the changing environment and connected Earth systems.

Please see my course syllabus for more details on class content and schedules.

1 Semester course option - just cancel after Semester 3 or 4 or join my single Semester courses.
Another year or more interactive class option - take Semester 5 & 6, where we work through previous NY Regents Exam questions.
Private Tuition also available - please contact me directly.


▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS STYLE  ▬▬▬▬▬
I use PowerPoint presentations for all my classes, so I can mix text and multimedia (photos & videos) which I think makes the class more accessible and interesting. I use educational videos regularly in my classes where this improves the quality of the teaching.

This class will be in a lecture style where students are reminded they can ask questions at any time and I do enjoy questions. This means that you can enjoy the class however you like - speak up and get involved and ask questions, or just listen and enjoy with no pressure.


▬▬▬▬▬▬  COMMUNICATIONS  ▬▬▬▬▬
Please contact me to arrange either one-off or ongoing bespoke 1-to1 tuition sessions.

I generally reply within a few hours during term time weekdays. I try and reply within 24hrs otherwise.

If you try my class and it is not quite right, then I don't want anyone to leave unhappy, please contact me and I can help. 

Just contact me if you have any further questions, I am happy to help.
Metas de aprendizaje
To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will be know in depth details of most Earth Science curriculums and will be prepared to attempt the New York State Regents Exam.

Lección 1:
1) Origin of the Earth's Atmosphere, Oceans & Continents
 In this class we study Nebular Theory: the leading theory on how the Solar System formed. We then look at the early Earth and the development of an atmosphere, oceans and continents. We then briefly look at the evolution of life of Earth.

Lección 2:
Geology 1: the Rarest Gems & Metals
 In this class we look at the rarest Gems and what they are made of how and where they were discovered. We then look at metals that are so rare that there may only be a teaspoon’s worth over the whole planet!

Lección 3:
Geology 2: Dating Rocks - Fossils & Stratigraphy
 In this class we focus on sedimentary rocks and fossils and the different ways they can be used to work out the sequence of events that lead to a rock layer being formed. This is called stratigraphy and can help us be rock detectives and unlock the story the rocks are trying to tell us.

Lección 4:
Geology 3: Dating Rocks - Radiometric Dating
 In this class we learn how geologists date rocks using Zircon crystals which are natures stopwatch. We learn about the different forms of radioactive decay and how they can be used to date different rocks and artifacts very accurately.

Necesidades de aprendizaje
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides for different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class Multi-choice questions avoids penalising spelling
Orientación para padres
Some classes talks about Global Warming and Climate Change causing more frequent natural disasters. It also talks about mass extinctions including the possibility of humans causing one now (including ourselves) and has some drawn images of animals dying to become fossils. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensitive students may find these topics distressing. This class is a science class which includes using the theory of evolution as an assumption.
Requisitos previos
None. Although doing my Earth Science Semester 1&2 courses first is helpful but not essential.
