Ciencias de secundaria (Q2): diversión con Nearpod, laboratorios y proyectos (genética y más)
En esta clase divertida e interactiva, repasaremos el segundo trimestre de Ciencias de la escuela secundaria. Este trimestre cubre temas de ciencias de la vida: genética (¡cuadrados de Punnett!), ADN, clasificación/taxonomía y plantas, ¡con el "Laboratorio de genética extraterrestre" incluido!

*THIS CLASS MEETS LIVE BUT IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS A SELF-PACED/PRE-RECORDED CLASS* (message me if you can't find the link) **This is a new class but is the exact same format/content as my SEMESTER middle school science class. You can still see the reviews from that class on my profile.** This is a fun, interactive, and rigorous 8-week course which meets twice each week! This class can be taken as a stand-alone course (the learners are not required to take all 4 quarters of this curriculum). This course is based on national science standards and includes many hands-on activities. Course Structure: *2 live meetings per week (45 min each); part lecture/part interactive slides and labs *Optional homework or projects will be assigned in the Outschool Classroom and can be turned in within the classroom, or be sent to me in a private message. We will try to do/start these assignments during class as often as possible. COURSE SYLLABUS: Week 1: Mendelian Genetics & Punnett Squares Nearpod slides and activities Genetic foldable Inspect your family's traits Punnett Square Practice Weekly quiz Week 2: Non-Mendelian Genetics & Punnett Squares Nearpod activities and slides Alien DNA Project Weekly quiz Week 3: DNA Nearpod activities and slides Strawberry DNA Lab Weekly quiz Week 4: DNA Nearpod slides and activities DNA Escape Room Make a DNA Model Weekly quiz Week 5: DNA Mutations & Cloning Nearpod slides and Activities DNA Bingo Weekly quiz Week 6: Classification of Living Things: Bacteria/Archaea Nearpod slides and activities 3 Domains Cut and Paste Activity Weekly quiz Week 7: Classification of Living Things: Protists and Fungi Nearpod slides and activities Write a Protist Story Pictures of items in your home made from protists/fungi Weekly quiz Week 8: Classification of Living Things: Plant Kingdom Nearpod slides and activities Venn Diagrams Weekly quiz I also have Q1, Q3, and Q4 of this class available. These are the topics covered in each of my 7th grade curriculum quarter classes: Q1: Scientific Method, Living Things, Light and Matter, Plant/Animal Cells, Organization of Living Things, Photosynthesis, Cell Cycle. Q2: Mendel/Genetics, Punnet Squares, DNA, DNA Mutations, Hybrid Organisms, Classification, Intro to Plants, Photosynthesis. Q3: What is an Animal?, In/Vertebrates, Skeletal System, Circulatory System, Respiratory System, Nervous System, Digestive System. Q4: Rock Cycle, Fossils/Fossil Layer, Plate Tectonics, Clouds, Meteorology, Weather, and Natural Disasters.
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will learn various aspects of life science. Please see the syllabus in the course description for a detailed list of all concepts taught. Learners will be able to understand the development of the study of genetics, create an "alien" using a punnet square, label and identify the parts of DNA, understand how mutations occur, understand how organisms are classified, and describe the process of photosynthesis in plants. After this course learners will be fully prepared to continue on to my 3rd and 4th quarter 7th grade curriculum if you so choose.

Lista de útiles escolares
*Q2 SUPPLIES* Doing the hands-on portion of the labs is not required, however it will definitely make the class more fun for learners! Often you can make substitutions for some items (or only do a portion of the lab) if it is difficult to get some of these items. I usually strive to do labs that only require items commonly found around the home. Turning in your assignments: you can take a picture(s) of your labs/activities and either upload them to the classroom (under the appropriate week’s post), or send it to me privately through Outschool in a message. Week 1: Foldable: printer paper to print pdf paper, scissors, glue Week 2: Alien Genetics Project: printer paper to print pdf, a coin, colored pencils, drawing paper (printer paper is fine) Week 3: Strawberry DNA Lab: 3 Strawberries, cutting board, knife, rubbing alcohol, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of water, 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid (for hand-washing dishes), small bowl and small glass, cheesecloth or coffee filter, funnel, resealable plastic sandwich bag, toothpick Week 4: DNA Model Project: We will be creating a 3-D model of DNA. Some learners like to use candy, others like to use origami or other non-edible items (like craft supplies). You will need a longer candy/item to create the “ribbon” part of the DNA, and 4 different colored candies to create the “ladder” part of the DNA. More info will be provided in the week 4 post and you will have 2 weeks to finish the project on your own time. You can start researching ideas online now if you would like. Week 5: Science Bingo: printer paper to print pdf, coins or other small items to use as “markers” on your bingo card as you play Week 6: 3-Domains Cut and Paste activity: printer paper to print pdf, glue, scissors Week 7: Paper, pencil, camera to take pics of items around your home that are related to the lesson Week 8: none

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura en Ciencia desde The Florida State University
I have a BS degree in Nutrition and Food Science (pre-med track) from Florida State University. After working as a pharmaceutical sales representative, I later became a certified middle school science teacher and taught middle school science in the Florida public school system for 5 years. I have been an online teacher since 2018. I'm also a "hybrid-homeschool" momma :)Reseñas
