Students will study a variety of topics within biology through the lens of ecosystems. They will have a deeper understanding of how our world works.  The completed coloring pages will be a beautiful summary they can look back on later.

As a family physician with a decade in private practice, years as a guest lecturer and adjunct faculty at a medical school, and over 2000 students taught on Outschool, I love teaching young people about biology and how their bodies work.  I believe that people who understand their bodies will take better care of them.  I teach students from Outschool all the way up to medical school and am honored to be a part of their learning process.

This is a great approach for learners who need something to do while learning!

All my classes make use of the wealth of information available on YouTube.  In most class sessions, this is 3-4 minutes showing something in real life or a science lab that we aren't able to easily do over Zoom.  Occasionally there will be more if that's ideal for getting the best educational experience.  

During class I only use the YouTube videos on screen share from my ad-free YouTube account in order to prevent students from seeing inappropriate ads or other materials.  Your learner does not need to have an account.  

If the entire video we watched is kid-appropriate, I will post a link in the classroom after class and Outschool embeds the link so that students can't watch anything else.  Watching it is entirely optional.  If I selectively showed an appropriate portion of a video but the rest goes into details that are inappropriate for children, I will not post the link.  Parents are able to message me directly for the link if desired.
