Welcome!
I created this blog to showcase the work my Learning Center students do during our physical science class. This will be a place for me to post photos of our experiments and projects as well as class notes. Parents can use this space to find out what we've been learning and students can come here to find out more information about the topics we've covered in class.
The first class session will be held on Thursday, September 23rd from 10-11:15 at the Vista Learning Center. During this school year, we'll cover topics from physics and chemistry. We'll be doing lots of hands-on projects and experiments during each of our class sessions and will also work on the scientific method so students will learn how to make predictions, plan experiments, and discuss their findings.
Topics I plan to cover during the Fall 2010 semester include motion, forces, gravity, buoyancy, types of energy, temperature, and simple machines.
I'm excited about teaching this class and know we'll have a great semester!
