This one-time class is meant to give students a quick science vocabulary boost. We will explore five important words in the world of science and nature. These words may be completely new or they may be familiar, yet their meanings may be unclear. We will clarify definitions so students can understand and use these words with confidence. Students will see related words and video and photo examples. To help aid the process of incorporating new words into students' permanent vocabulary, we will interact with the words as much as possible during class. We will write the words along with a short definition, we will use the words in sentences, and we will play a simple game that uses the information that we learned. Students should feel free to contribute what they know and ask questions. 
Students are encouraged to wow family and friends by using the new words outside of class. The more often a word is used, the more likely it is to stay put in one's vocabulary!

The words we will explore in this lesson:
hypothesis
organism
microorganism
ecosystem
herbivore

I am a patient and easy-going teacher who likes to ask students questions and encourage discussion.
