Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Week 6/28 : Crazy Frogs
Week 7/5: Crazy Scorpions
Week 7/12: Crazy Shrimp
Week 7/19: Crazy Bugs

After week 4 we'll decide as a class which topics to cover
Ever hear about the frog-eating bug? or wasp that can enslave spiders?  Or a shrimp so loud in can knock out nearby fish with only sound?  The world is filled with crazy creatures.  This will be an ongoing class. Every week we'll take a look at one.  We'll explore it's biology, it's role in the ecosystem and some of the things that make it unusual.  We'll also set aside some time for learners to present their favorite animals so come prepared with your favorites

By the way, the loud shrimp?  It has one of the weirdest eyes in the animal kingdom.  Come with me as take a whirlwind tour of the weird and the wacky, the crazy and the convoluted and the odd and outrageous.  

This is an ongoing course so if a different time or date works better please let me know.  It's very simple to open up new sections.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about how animals fulfill a niche in the ecosystem.  What kind of mechanical, chemical, or behavioral tools that can be used to find food, mate, defend against predators, and more.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Washington Teaching Certificate in Science
I've been a science teacher since 2015.  I've taught both middle school and high school science, chemistry, biology, and physics.  I thought it'd be fun to teach on Outschool because it would allow me to be more flexible with how I teach and what I cover.

Before I was a science teacher I worked as a molecular biologist.  It was a rewarding experience but what I was really interested was working as a teacher.  It was the best decision I could have made.  I really love hanging out with my students and teaching them science.  I'm looking forward teaching a broader range of things to a different kinds of kids.  

My goals is to make science fun and accessible to everyone.  Teaching science, interacting with students are what I enjoy doing.

I make crystals as a hobby and I'm writing a sequel to my book, Tears of the Gods: The Knight, the Shaman, and the Shadow
