Each week will include a range of activities that are designed to engage the learners in both a hands-on and minds-on way. Each week will include experiments, Q&A, quizzes, games, worksheets, videos and much more.  Learners will be encouraged to observe, explore, question and share what they learn. A variety of methods are used to support learners and cater for different learning styles and needs. 

Learners will be required to:
✔️Use household objects to make the recipe of the week
✔️Upload photos of their completed bread-making projects to the classroom
✔️Report their findings
✔️Comment on other learner work
✔️Upload copies of the worksheets 
✔️Complete a challenge in the classroom together 

A flex course allows learners to cover material during a time that is convenient for them each week.  Students are encouraged to check in with the teacher weekly via the Outschool classroom, which will allow for more engagement between the teacher and learner.  After weekly lessons, students can collaborate with their peers by replying to the announcements and lesson postings in the Outschool classroom.

Participation will include the Introduction post, discussion posts, assignments, and projects in the Classroom. This allows students to process what they are learning by collaborating with peers and the teacher.  Participation in assignments allows students to practise and reinforce learning.  This also provides opportunities for the teacher to gauge student learning and provide interventions if necessary.  Private messages or classroom comments are usually responded to within 24 hours.

All materials are posted in the classroom by the end of Monday UK time each week. Learners are expected to interact in the classroom each week on the various posts in the required ways and complete the necessary tasks by Sunday each week. This is important as educational research shows that consistent interaction and feedback is necessary in order to create a quality learning experience. We want to ensure that students are given a rich learning experience, and not left to learn content on their own. 

This course is taught by Teacher Kara.
