Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
This class is designed to feed the minds of hungry, budding nature enthusiasts who are curious about what it would be like to research and save animals in the wild. As a wildlife biologist and environmental educator, I have a lot of firsthand experiences to share about studying and observing different animals in various parts of the world. I use those tales to engage students in a discussion about what types of information scientists gather and how they can get that information. And, taking it a step further, how conservation of animals and their homes, depend on the information scientists gather. I encourage learners to think, problem-solve, ask questions and use their imagination. In other words, to think like an inspired scientist! 

Each week we'll explore a different scenario. Since this class meets in an ongoing format, each week's content stands on its own and does not require previous knowledge or attendance. Learners are encouraged to share information they may already know and to revel in their love of animals with like-minded kids! This is for those learners who collect bird's nests, chase frogs, watch ants, climb trees, and think sloths are cute!

Students only need an inquisitive mind and an interest in nature to enjoy this class. No homework is required although many learners will probably want to find out more and I can steer them in the right direction. 

General categories we'll focus on are:

Endangered species issues and success stories
Field research (tropical rainforest animals, primate research, birds, insects, wolves and more)
African wildlife conservation issues
Backyard explorations
And, other topics the learners are curious about!

Learning Goals

Learners will improve their understanding of what scientists do in the field and begin to think like scientists themselves. More importantly, they will be with other kids (and one very enthused adult) who love wild animals and exploring outdoors.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I pursued a career in wildlife science and environmental communications after deciding at 8 years old that I wanted to 'save all the animals'. I know what it feels like to want to DO something from an early age! Kids have so many more options and ideas now and many are ready to make an impact. I have done everything from wildlife field research, to working in environmental education at World Wildlife Fund, the Smithsonian National Zoo and National Audubon Society. It is my hope that I can ignite your learner's interest in getting more involved in nature and wildlife conservation.
