Join me in this high-flying adventure as we learn bird basics with fun, hands-on activities! We will fly into an interactive presentation where the class will build a bird together while learning the basic body parts. Students will understand bird adaptations, diet, habitats, and more! This class will touch on a variety of bird species from different regions, but not all species. After the presentation, students will use tools (tongs, tweezers, etc.) as their beak and they will create a nest with different materials. My teaching style is interactive and in most of my classes students are participating in hands-on activities or experiments. I encourage students to tell stories relating to the lesson topic and share any objects, pictures, etc.

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.Reviews
