Club de ciencia Pokémon

Welcome to my Pokemon Science Course!

This course will take your learner's love of Pokemon and apply it to important science concepts. In all my classes, I always tell my students my two favorite things are Pokemon and Science! I finally decided I should make a course that combines those loves together into one! I hope your learner will love it as much as I do. Each month will dive into a science concept and find examples of it in the Pokemon World. Learners will play games, do investigations, and experiment to learn more. All activities will be based on Pokemon and the Pokemon Universe to build excitement and engagement about the science topic. I will send out the supplies at the beginning of each month. New learners will get supplies when the join in Welcome message. If you do not see supplies when you join message me for assistance!
