4 Spectacular Science Experiments (Self-Paced)
Complete 4 hands-on experiments including 3-in-1 Magic Water, Build and Melt a Snowman, Grow a Rainbow and Unbreakable Bag! (Ages 5-10)
Course Summary
Includes fun step-by-step instructional lesson, printables and quizzes. We will be completing the following science experiments: 1) 3-in-1 Magic Water 2) Build and melt a snowman with shaving cream and baking soda! 3) Unbreakable Bag 4) Grow a Rainbow
Little scientists have the option of getting the weekly supplies and participating in the science activity or may choose to simply observe. Print out the provided “official science journal“ each week and get ready to explore. I will provide step-by-step instructional videos for our activities in order for students to participate along at home. I often include my own children in videos to create more of an age appropriate “classroom like” environment. I want your learner to feel like they are part of a class and will be available for any questions or communications. New videos will be available each Monday. Each week students will get a “Scientist Journal” AKA a printable one-page questionnaire, supplies and information worksheet. Students can fill out the questionnaire with their hypothesis and observations and share it in the classroom.
Science activities include:
WEEK ONE - 3-in-1 Magic Water - Learn about air and water pressure in a hands-on way! What happens when we lift our cups upside down over the water? Will our tissue stay dry or get wet when we dunk our cups under the water? Watch in amazement as our paper sticks magically to our upside down water glass!
WEEK TWO - Build and Melt a Snowman - Learn about the states of matter as we make cute little snowmen then melt them with a fun fizzing action!
WEEK THREE - Grow a Rainbow - Learn about chromatography and capillary action as we watch in amazement while our rainbows grow!
WEEK FOUR - Unbreakable Bag - How many pencils can we poke through our water filled plastic bags? What else can we poke through? What happens when we puncture our bags?

Hello parents and students,
I started Teach Me Truth Christian School because of the need for families to have a safe space for learning. After reading, "Mama Bear Apologetics", I recognized the call for a Christian education platform. Not only teaching children about the Bible, but also teaching apologetics that back up the Bible with science, logic, facts, history and intellectual reasoning. I am passionate about homesteading, homeschooling and working on becoming more independent from the world and government. Most schools in person and online censor Christianity and promote everything else - and I mean everything else! As parents, our jobs are becoming more difficult to protect our children from the evils of this world while at the same time educating them about the truth. Soon after starting the online platform, God called me to start an in-person school as well.
My Teaching Style: I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion for six years. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher since 2020. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
About Me: I have a bachelor's degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mom of five. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
My Homeschooling Style: As a homeschooling mom of 4, my favorite part of teaching is sort of "tricking" them into learning. What I mean by this is, we often play learning games and sing songs. In addition to this, my children have learning games on their devices and we listen to learning songs in the car. Some of our favorite online resources include: Easy Peasy Homeschool, Education.com and Miacademy and Flock School. Some of our favorite learning games are: ABC and sight word bingo, memory match, shout-and-grab, ABC caterpillar board game, dinosaur nest game, Uno, chess, checkers, matching, fill in the blank phonics sounds and more. We love arts and craft time as well as create weekly science projects. My kiddos enjoy both live and self-paced online classes. Our kids participate in chores, taking care of our chickens, ducks, dog and cat. We love projects and currently are building a chicken coop. Lastly, our book work is a small part of learning each day.
