This one-time course introduces students to the animal classifications invertebrates and vertebrates. We will begin class with introductions and favorite animals! We will then jump into an interactive presentation that will elaborate on both classifications. Students will understand the differences of both, advantages and disadvantages for different species, and also understand adaptations to environment. 
Students will have the opportunity to ask questions, make predictions, and share experiences with different invertebrates/vertebrates. 
We will complete a hands-on activity with few craft/household items to help students better understand which animals have back bones.

I encourage curiosity, sharing of stories, and creativity in all of my classes!  

*Please reach out for other times if you do not see a date that works for your schedule.

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am so happy you ventured over to my science learning lab! 

My goal is for students to have fun, maybe get messy, and gain a love for science! My teaching style is interactive and hands-on as I try to bring science to life. My classes work well for the kinesthetic learner. 
You will find that most of my classes have a hands-on component to complement the learning experience and my presentations are very visual. 

I do my very best to keep prices lower than average as I understand how quickly classes add up for parents. Keeping the prices lower also helps parents as there are material lists for experiments and activities. However, almost every class that I have has a coupon! Please reach out if you need assistance. 

When I am not teaching I love to spend time with my daughter outside, gardening, raising chicks, and learning new skills. My goal is to combine some of my hobbies while teaching. 

I have been teaching environmental science to students in pre-k through 12th grade for over 12 years. I have taught in various settings including outdoors, in classrooms, and online. I currently run my own business developing and delivering science lessons and custom curriculums to students in school settings, early learning centers, scouts, libraries, and more! I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Sociology in 2016 and my M.S. in Resilient and Sustainable Communities in 2019.
