Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 6
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Topics by Week: Week of January 15-20th - How are fossils made? Week of January 22-27th - What causes layers in rock? Week of January 29 - Do some plants really 'eat' bugs? Week of February 5-10th - Why do birds have so many crazy adaptations? More weekly topics will be coming soon! Structure of the Class: Each week this class will cover a different science and nature-based question. During class, students will work together along with me to discover the answer to the question of the week...
Students will increase their ability to ask scientific questions and make observations of natural phenomenon.
I have been a teacher for 6 years and a science specialist (I help other science teachers) for a year and a half. I love teaching students and helping them to discover answers to their scientific questions! Cultivating lifelong learning and curious individuals is my motivation for doing what I do!
