In this 18-day online course, learners will become active participants in their own learning by creating an interactive notebook which then becomes a great resource for reviewing and studying the covered concepts. No prior knowledge is required. Page numbers given refer to the required workbook.

From the author: "The intent of the Interactive Notebook series is to help students make sense of new information. Textbooks often present more facts and data than students can process at one time. The books in this series introduce each science concept in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand format that does not overwhelm the learner. The text presents only the most important information, making it easier for students to comprehend. Vocabulary words are printed in boldfaced type...Color helps the brain remember better...The format of the interactive notebook involves both the right-brain and left-brain hemispheres to help students process information."

Each class will begin with a short greeting time and then we will proceed directly to the assigned topic. Learners may need extra time after class to complete their notebooks. I have a relaxed teaching style and there will be opportunities for questions during the class. I can also be reached by email. Learners will benefit most if they read over the assigned material prior to each class time.
