Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Join me as we dive into an erosion explosion experiment! This class begins with an interactive PowerPoint presentation to help students learn and understand the definition of erosion. We will focus on two types of erosion: wind and water. Students will see real life examples of both types of erosion and be invited to share stories, experiences, or examples of their own (this could be visiting a beach, cliffs at state parks, or yard erosion). Students do not have to share if they do not want, it is optional. 
Class will wrap up with a hands-on experiment to visualize wind and water erosion! 

I strive to make every class interactive and fun with a hands-on experiment/activity component!

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.
