Each week, students will conduct laboratory investigations to learn about different concepts through laboratory experiments that are safe to do at home.

In week 1, students will learn what lab practices should be used, as well as what STEM education is and how to learn through hands on approaches and guide learning independently.

In week 2, students will learn about states of matter, and how different chemicals interact with each other to observe physical changes and chemical changes.

In week 3, students will learn about electricity and how energy is created from a closed circuit. 

In week 4, students will investigate different properties of rocks and minerals including luster, shine, malleability, density, and magnetism. 

I have been a middle school science teacher for 10 years, and have obtained a Bachelors in Elementary Education with licensure in Middle School Science and High School Biology. I have a Masters in Science Education 6-12 grade and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, which also focuses on scientific investigation processes while conducting research and ethics behind research and safety practices to ensure safe and fair investigations. I have also taught Elementary Education and worked as a STEM instructor for over 10 years through STEM initiative schools, teaching students how to learn through hands on and student lead investigations. I have conducted all labs listed in this class in my own classroom, and review safety practices for every lab. 

提供的家庭作業
Students will receive practice kahoot and breakoutedu.com games to review. Lab completion is independent, which serves as homework for this class. Extra resources may be provided upon request as labs can be time consuming for completion. 
1 - 2 每週課外時間
提供的評估
Student completion of labs will serve as assessment. For documentation purposes, feedback will be provided on submitted lab reports. Weekly quizzes will be provided for completion after each week's topic for assessment. 
提供的成績

Videos will be made available for viewing to additional enrichment of topics, but materials will come from teacher directly. Supplemental laboratory equipment has been recommended in the supplies list to enhance learning, as the teacher will be using these resources as well.
