Anticipated Questions (AQ’s)
Do I need the Junior Physics Set with Extras. Yes – it is an absolute must.
What does a lesson normally look like? This is a live lesson with Jacob as the Teacher, explaining and demonstrating what students are to do, asking and answering questions, teaching, demonstrations etc.
What is the maximum class size? 23 logins.
Will we need the camera on? Preferably yes. Jacob can only engage with student’s who have video on. At the beginning of the course Jacob must also see that it is a legitimate child participating in the class.
Is the zoom class recorded? Yes it is. If your child misses a lesson or wants to repeat it at their own pace then they can watch the lesson later.
Is the class safe? Children need to be supervised by a responsible adult. The Science activities chosen are all considered low risk.
What are Jacob’s credentials? Jacob is a Science Teacher with 25 years experience. He has a current Working With Children Check and clean police record. Jacob has 4 children of his own and with his wife Rachel currently home educate their youngest.
Can I invite others to buy tickets to the Course? Absolutely! The kids will love doing the class with their friends or cousins.
I have a few children, do I need to buy multiple tickets? No! It’s one ticket per Zoom login. Generally 1 to 3 can gather around a single device.
Jacob recommends that each child uses their own Junior Chemistry Set One
My child is dyslexic can they still do the workshop? Absolutely! They can read through the worksheet a number of times prior to the lesson. They won’t be put on the spot to read and Jacob won’t ask for a close look of their completed worksheet.
I’ve got more questions. Have you read through the description twice? Have you read through the Anticipated Questions? If you still don’t know the answer then contact Jacob on jacob@makesciencefun.com.au
