This is not a live class.  This is a flexible schedule class.  
Each week in this 8-week course students will view an interesting interactive presentation.  The class will include recorded demonstrations.  On weeks that an experiment is scheduled, I will post a video of me performing the experiment for the students to follow.  The students will perform the experiments at home and can post pictures in the Outschool classroom of their final product.  

Throughout the lesson the learners progress will be assessed through interactive games, quizzes, and questions within the Nearpod presentation.  

Each week students will complete online activities/worksheets to further reinforce the topic for the week. These activities/worksheets will provide the student with instant feedback on their progress.  Each homework activity will display a score on screen after completion. 
 However, a grade report can be provided at the completion of this segment upon request.

I will be available through Outschool messaging to offer help for any student that needs additional help.  In addition, I will be checking the students progress on the activities and worksheets.  If I feel that a topic needs more clarification I will post additional videos to further explain the subject.

There is a free textbook that will be used along with this class CK-12 Physical Science for Middle School.  This class will cover sections 7, 8 and 10.  The book can be freely viewed at CK-12.org (https://flexbooks.ck12.org/cbook/ck-12-middle-school-physical-science-flexbook-2.0/)
