🌟 Explore the Wonders of Physical Science! 🌟 This weekly class is perfect for students seeking extra support, fulfilling a science requirement, or simply exploring the physical forces that shape our world. One week, we might design our own investigations like real scientists. The next, we’ll explore how physical science principles apply to our everyday lives. Aligned with the NGSS Standards for Physical Science, this class ensures a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. 📚 Our sessions are a blend of various activities to keep students engaged. We will utilize visuals, lectures, group discussions and online games to break down and reinforce the concepts. Every week there will be an interactive assignment that builds on the concepts we learn. With an emphasis on student inquiry, I have really tried to build this class to encourage learners to think critically and make connections that last. My hopes is my students will make connections that they can relate to life!
