In this one-time class, learners will get to explore the fascinating characteristics that make an amphibian an amphibian! They will discover what traits make amphibians different from animals like reptile, birds, and fish. We will take a deep dive into amphibian metamorphosis and learn how amphibians do it and why! Through an interactive Google Slide presentation, learners will see photos and videos to help them grasp concepts and discuss prompts with myself and other learners. The first couple minutes of class will be used for learners to introduce themselves and share information they may already know about amphibians. We will then meet a LIVE animals and hop into the interactive presentation. In the presentation, we will discuss amphibian traits, where amphibians live, metamorphosis, and discuss some amazing amphibians like the giant Chinese salamander and poison dart frogs. I will leave a few minutes at the end for learners to review the concepts covered in the presentation and to ask questions. I can't wait to discover the wonders of amphibians with your learner!

Hi there!
My name is Sarah and I am so excited to explore wildlife, science, and conservation with your learner. I was born and raised in the Metroparks of Ohio, but I currently call the Sonoran Desert of Arizona my home.
I have had a strong love for wildlife and nature for my whole life and have built my career around it. In 2017, I graduated cum laude from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Conservation Biology and Ecology. I am a Certified Environmental Educator in Arizona and a Certified Interpretive Guide through the National Association for Interpretation.
After college, I worked on several wildlife studies in the field studying species like the western diamondback rattlesnake, spectacled rattlesnakes, and Bahamian rock iguanas. I gained experience as an informal educator developing programs for schools and homeschool students at the Phoenix Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, South Mountain Environmental Education Center, and SeaLife Aquarium.
At the start of COVID, I founded an organization that creates wildlife and conservation STEM resources for K-8 students, including a science curriculum program that teaches core science subjects with an engaging animal twist.
My greatest objective as an educator is to make science FUN. My classes cover important science topics while using wildlife and nature as our driving forces.
