Is your learner’s love for animals unmatched? Are they constantly impressing friends and family with their animal knowledge? Then this is the perfect class for them! In this Animal Trivia course, we will see just how much your kiddos know about animals. Each trivia session will have 10 questions (though we may not get through all 10) that will encourage us to explore some of the most unique and incredible animals on the planet. Once we figure out the correct answer to the trivia question, we will discuss the animal, check out photos, and watch fascinating videos to encourage students to learn even more! Each trivia session will have a different theme that will allow us to explore various animal groups, adaptations, habitats, and so much more. During some classes, learners will spend some time engaging with one of our LIVE animals and have the opportunity to ask of questions. This class is a great opportunity for learners to connect with other animal-loving kids and share their passion with their peers. I can’t wait to meet your learners and discuss some of the world’s coolest species.

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.
