In this one-time class we will explore the many types of creatures we call bugs! We will investigate “true bugs”, other insects, arachnids, myriapods (centipedes and millipedes), mollusks (slugs and snails), and worms. We will investigate questions such as: What is an invertebrate? What kind of bugs are there? What roles do bugs play in the ecosystem? What are pollinators and decomposers? What kind of habitats do they need? Students will learn through lecture, discussion and creating their own piece of buggy artwork!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from American Military University
Hello! My name is Arwen, and I am absolutely passionate about space science, the environment, and teaching! I offer courses about the solar system, planets, natural processes, soil, and the environment. I am a NASA Solar System Ambassador and science author. My Master's is in Space Science, and I have undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Ecology, and Natural Resource Management. I am currently working on a doctorate in STEM education.
I believe curiosity and learning are human instincts. I try to honor that by asking the learners lots of questions and encouraging them to think about information in new ways.
When not teaching, you can find me hosting "Found in Space: A Science Podcast for Kids and Teens" or playing Dungeons and Dragons and exploring the Southwest with my three homeschooled kiddos and our big, fluffy orange cat named Moose!
I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.Reviews
