Class Experience

Hello, future marine biologists! Are you ready to come face-to-face with the Atlantic Blue Crab, mud crabs, and fiddler crabs in this exciting class? I catch the crabs myself in my neighborhood marsh to bring straight to my classroom for your learning and observation! Once they’re caught, we’ll take a close look at their anatomy, including those feisty claws, and learn how to tell the male crabs from the female crabs. We’ll discover their habitat and how to find crabs in the wild, learn the safe way to hold a crab to avoid getting pinched, and observe the crabs as they scurry around my desk!

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to identify various species of crab, catch a crab, and safely hold a crab.
