과학 실험: 실내에서 무지개를 만들어 보세요!

In this one-time class, learners will learn about rainbows. We talk about what they are, how they form, and when we can see them. We will also learn about the color spectrum, primary and secondary colors, and which primary colors together create secondary colors using a series of interactive functions and games through NearPod.

I am a high energy teacher, so this class will be very interactive with both me and the device that the learners will use. I will ask each learner to say vocabulary, phonics sounds, and colors with me and we will mix our color soup together to learn which colors create green, orange, and violet. Learners will use their device to color a picture of our friend, Roy G. Biv, match pairs, and race to the top of a mountain in a short quizzical game via NearPod. The NearPod link will be sent to the parents of enrolled learners prior to class start time and will also be provided in the classroom chatbox in Zoom.

At the end of the lesson, we will do a simple experiment to create our own rainbows indoors using household supplies! (Parents/Guardians may need to help with this).

WHAT IS NEARPOD?

NearPod is an interactive resource that I use for most of my lessons in addition to Zoom. 
**Both Zoom and NearPod are necessary to participate in this class!**

NearPod is COPPA compliant and does not save or sell your information. You do not pay for NearPod - upon enrollment of this class, you will get access to the lesson without paying for or creating an account. One hour prior to the class start time, I send out a classroom post that contains the NearPod login link and code for you to access. Since NearPod has games and interactive features for your learner, you need to log in on your side as well if your child wishes to participate. When you click on the link, it will ask for a name. This is only for me to see on my master side, so that I know which screen belongs to which child. You can put in a nickname if you want.

There are a few different ways to get into NearPod: You can click on the hyperlink that I send prior to the lesson and that will take you to NearPod via your default browser. You can also use the NearPod application on a phone or tablet available in most app stores. If going this route, enter the 5 digit code that I send to access the lesson (most students like using a touch device because it is easier for their little fingers to click). 

I've created a parent demo lesson if you are new to NearPod. Copy and paste the link below to your browser to view the demo to see if this is something your child would have fun with.

POLICIES

REFUNDS:
All Ongoing classes have a standard refund policy: "Cancel subscription at any point, no refund for past subscriptions. Payments can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase."

Refunds will not be issued for any case of a student no-show in which the student misses class. Our schedule holds a dedicated spot for your child each week. In the event that your child misses class, your payment is a reservation of that time that cannot otherwise be utilized by, scheduled for, or transferred to another student. Additionally; no refunds or makeup classes will be issued for class time lost due to students/parents being unprepared for class. Please read the full class description before enrolling to ensure you can be fully prepared come class start time. Upon enrollment, please be sure to turn on email notifications for messages and classroom post updates sent by your learner's teacher.

TRANSFERS:
Transfer requests will be accepted if the request is sent no less than 24 hours prior to the class start time and only for ongoing courses. If you have something come up and cannot make your section time, please send me a transfer request as soon as possible for another time during that same week. In the event of a one-time transfer and you would like your child moved back to their original section day/time, you need to send another transfer request or your child will stay in the current section. 

There will be no transfers for student no shows under any circumstances.

ABSENCES & STUDENT NO-SHOWS:
A student no-show is defined as a student absence with no prior arrangements made with the teacher.
There will be no refunds or transfers for student no-shows under any circumstances. 

In cases of no-shows for private classes or classes that happen to only have one learner, it is Outschool's policy that the class is automatically cancelled if no student shows up after 10 minutes have elapsed and you forfeit your payment for that class. If you have a private class, ALWAYS reach out before class starts if there is a reason you cannot make it.

Absentees are entitled to the class recorded as well as a student-paced NearPod lesson that parents can navigate with their student while watching the recording. Student-paced lessons are usually not put out publicly, so please message your teacher for access!

MAKEUP CLASSES:
Makeup classes are not offered at this time for group classes. Please message your teacher if you require a makeup time for a private class. We will reschedule a maximum of 3 times. All makeup requests need to be scheduled within 24 hours of the original class cancelation and cancelations need to be communicated no less than 24 hours before the originally scheduled lesson. 

OUTSCHOOL POLICIES:
Only the enrolled student is admitted into the classroom and allowed to be on screen and participating in the class. Students may share a screen if and only if they are both enrolled into the class and in that same section. Friends, cousins, parents, siblings, etc. are not permitted to be on screen at all.

When entering your Zoom meeting, please make sure that your screen name matches your learner's name on the roster OR the enrolling parent's name on their profile. Any other names will not be admitted into the classroom due to safety and privacy concerns. If we as teachers cannot verify who is entering, it is against Outschool's policy to admit them.

Every student must turn on their video for teachers to verify that there is, in fact, a child in the classroom due to privacy and safety concerns. If you prefer your child not be on camera, you need to contact Outschool prior to the class to be "verified" beforehand. Refusing to turn on your camera for teachers to verify a child will result in removal from the Zoom meeting immediately.

Only one Zoom account will be admitted into the classroom per student. All Zoom meetings are recorded. Parents and/or guardians are not authorized to watch the class from a second device, but all class recordings are available in the classroom page for your viewing after the class has concluded. Some recordings may be deleted if something inappropriate happens during the lesson i.e. nudity or offensive behavior.

Thank you for your understanding!
