블랙홀: 사실인가 허구인가

Sometimes it is said that “fact can be stranger than fiction.” This holds true for the type of objects astronomers call ‘black holes.’ While there is still much about them that is unknown, scientists are beginning to unravel some of their mysteries. 

During this class, students will learn about and test their knowledge on these incredible objects through a game called “Fact or Fiction.” Students will be given a series of statements and they will get to choose if they think it is a fact (something astronomers know and have observed) or fiction (something not confirmed or out of the realm of science). We’ll discuss each statement and students will get to reevaluate their answers.

Classroom Expectations and Guidelines:
1) My goal is to keep classes close to the scheduled amount of time, however, sometimes classes with low enrollments or especially talkative students may go over or under a few minutes. Classes will begin and end at the scheduled times, even if learners are late to the classroom or absent.
 
2) If no learners are in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes before exiting the classroom. As stated in Outschool’s policy, “If your learners have not joined the meeting 10 minutes after the start time, the meeting may be canceled, at the teacher’s discretion.  This is considered a missed meeting and you are not entitled to a refund.”
 
3) To ensure safety and security, ALL of my students are required to turn their cameras on at the beginning of class so I can check identity. They may turn their cameras off after I have verified them. Students will also be asked to speak throughout each class, so a working microphone is required. This also helps ensure security and safety.
 
3) All students will be muted upon entering the classroom to prevent background noise and distractions. Please familiarize your child with the “Mute” and “Unmute” button in Zoom. (Parents are not required to be present during class, but it is helpful to be nearby in case your child has IT issues.)
 
4) I follow all Outschool refund policies. Please familiarize yourself with them here: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/16379-refund-policies-and-happiness-guarantee
 
5) For multiple learner’s from your household, Outschool’s policies states, “Parents are welcome to enroll two or more learners in the same section of a class provided that the class has enough spaces. You will need to enroll each learner separately for the section, but learners are welcome to share a device if that would make it easier to attend class.”
