Online, Hands-On Science Magic Class
Science Magic (Online)
Time for a little fun physics! Students will explore physics concepts like center of mass, light, static electricity, and magnetism in the form of fun magic-type tricks. Students will make a balancing paper bird, observe how water and acrylic bend light, make a magical floating tinsel ball, "see" a hidden message, and build a levitating magnet toy and floating creature in a jar. Students will do the labs with me via Zoom.
I will provide a kit that contains the majority of the supplies needed for the class. Additional common household items will be needed. Students will need to print worksheets from my website. I will also provide detailed lab setup instructions/photos.

Wondering what parents think about my online classes (from Chemistry - Fall 2020)?
"OMG, my son loved the class!! He came running and said, "that was awesome!!" He showed us the food coloring thing and explained how atoms move...love it!! Thank you. A much needed excitement about learning. - Michelle N - parent of 5th grader
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am that our girls are taking your course!! They are learning so much and are really enjoying it. Thank you so much!!" - Mattea W. - parent of 4th and 6th graders
FB post: I have not seen my child THIS involved. Thanks to Hands-On Science. Lisa Hindmarsh is an excellent teacher. Students stay engaged because there is lots of hands on activity. He finished class and said want to know something amazing? That is a big win. Thank you Lisa. - Shankari A. - parent of 4th grader
"My son is now excited to take astronomy! You really have gotten him excited about science! - Katie C. - parent of 5th grader
"Thank you very much for teaching such a thorough and fun chemistry class. My daughter loved it! I appreciate all the work that you put into it! We will see you next week!" - Karen H., parent of 5th grader
"My daughter has been loving the chemistry class and we'd like to register for more of your upcoming classes. We never got to do an in person class with you, but I've been really impressed with how well you've adapted these classes for zoom. The time and effort you've spent really show! - Alex L., parent of 4th grader.
