Join me in this ongoing class where we will meet weekly to explore different topics in science for grades 4-6. Each week we will move on to a new topic of interest and go in-depth into discussion about that aspect of the natural world. This series is designed to flow, but learners do not need to attend all classes to enjoy the content. We will cover a wide range of scientific fields and understanding, from the very small to the very big and everything in between! 

We will approach our topics from an interactive standpoint with support from visual aids -- I encourage all learners to participate in discussion and ask lots of questions! Learners will have many opportunities to interact with me as we explore the natural world. I will also provide worksheets to help us reinforce our learning, that I can assess as requested. 

Our schedule of topics is as follows (though it may change slightly as I develop the classes and refine the content):

Learners do not need any prior experience with science to enjoy these classes. We will cover conceptual science and I will provide optional worksheets and activities for everyone to follow along with if desired. Upon request I can also assess learner progress.
