Let's study the areas of Chemistry & Geology while uncovering the Periodic Table of Elements by incorporating full curriculum for learners. Your learner may join at any time, drop in, or stay for the entire 15 weeks.  

💎Classes are very interactive with great discussions and sharing!  Each week, students will engage in interactive, fun, and fascinating lessons while sharing their ideas about the periodic table and our specimen for that week.  We will have a "Guess That Mineral" game in select weeks too.  I will then provide additional materials for select classes to choose from at home, links to videos, games, and wonderful resources to explore this field deeper.

Providing students with the opportunity to explore these unique science topics is my passion!  I love to share and connect with each student and guide them in their curiosity.

🔹️Students will have ample time to discuss and share their ideas through guided questions. They have the option to bring the particular specimen for the week with them to class. This is completely optional as there are so many different specimens.  Since students learn differently, I will use a variety of images, simulations, demonstrations, and videos.  

👉Class Format:
🔸️ Geology specimen of the week: (Example Amethyst)
🔸️Periodic Table Practice: element make-up of the geology specimen. (Amethyst is made of "?" element, but where does it get its color?) 
🔸️Dig Deeper: Elements and origin? Investigation and discussion on how adding or removing a particular element could change our specimen. What are bonds and how do they happen?  Exploration of atomic numbers, protons, and categories on the periodic table.  Where might we find these particular elements we uncover in a specimen? We will even have the opportunity to annotate on-screen as we are discovering together!
*Please note not all topics will be discussed each week.  I will guide our conversation depending on the student's questions.
