Throughout the course, we challenge the students to create Elemental Trading Cards. They can use any paper they want for this, but you might consider buying some blank playing cards to make their set extra fun.

About your teachers

Science Mom has always loved science. She got a minor in chemistry in college, where organic chemistry was one of her favorite classes. She used a lot of biochemistry and molecular biology techniques during her master's degree studying stress-induced flowering in a tiny plant called Arabidopsis thaliana. While working in a lab was interesting, she loves teaching best.

Math Dad is super competitive. He has a PhD in math and used to teach at Nevada State College before leaving academica to teach with Science Mom full time. You'd better come to class prepared, or Math Dad's questions will stump you.
