In this 15-week class that covers one semester, students will meet once a week and will also be expected to complete homework at home. This class will focus on five aspects of Physical Science including motion, energy, forces, electricity, and magnetism. Simple equations as well as multiplication and division are used during some lessons. Students are allowed to use calculators if needed. Paper and pencil will need to be available for each class. After the first week, each class will begin with any questions the students have about the homework or material covered the week before. Then the new material for that week will be presented; slides, videos, pictures, and actual demonstrations or labs will be used throughout the course. Messages in the classroom will be utilized if students have any questions on homework throughout the week. Some homework assigned will be worksheets and others will be at-home experiments using household items. Please view the supply list for supplies. I will make sure to keep parents updated via classroom posts on what will be needed for the upcoming week. Homework assignments that are uploaded to the teacher will be graded but grades are used at the parent's discretion. Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time. There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.

Necesidades de aprendizaje
Activities are not mandatory and can be adapted to fit the needs of each individual learner. Notes and homework can be digitally manipulated if student prefers, graded or not, no reading out loud in class.
Orientación para padres
All experiments utilize household materials. Some experiments may be messy. Please read homework beforehand to determine if experiments need to be performed outside to save the house from a mess :-) Scissors will also be used in a few experiments. Please make sure your learner can independently handle them safely.
Requisitos previos
Some math and simple equations are used in class. Intermediate understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division will be helpful.
Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
2 Grado
Maestría desde Western Governors University
Licenciatura en Ciencia desde Missouri Southern State University
I was a middle school science teacher for 10 years. I have also homeschooled my daughter (who is now graduated) for 10 years. As a public school teacher, I taught Earth Science, Chemistry, Physical Science, Zoology, Biology, and more to hundreds of students. Science is a passion of mine and I find performing experiments both fascinating and illuminating when learning new scientific facts! In this class, students will have ample opportunity to perform their own experiments to reiterate the information they learn in class. I have my Bachelor's degree in Biology/Pre-Med and a Master's in Healthcare Administration.
