Class Experience

Can you remember a time when you kicked off your shoes and walked barefoot along the seashore? Have you and your kids ever explored a tide pool before? Tide pool communities are some of the most awesome habitats to study. Grab your virtual pale and naturalists journal and let's explore the tide pool community together! Do you live near the seashore? We'd love to hear about your adventures exploring the shore during the live class! In this 30 minute class, students explore the tidal zones and tide pool community life.

This lesson covers the following tide pool community topics:

* What tide pools are
* Tidal zones
* Tide pool plants and animals


What's Included:

1). One 30-minute live online class session with Gloria Brooks aka NatureGlo

2). DOWNLOADS: one Slideshow pdf lesson with accompanying study guide pdf to be downloaded. The study guide is fillable.


What Students Need for Class (ALL OPTIONAL):

2). Learners can either fill out the study guide by typing into it or print it out and handwrite into it. 


Class structure:

Class begins with a Slideshow presentation. Students can fill out the study guide questions as I go through the PowerPoint presentation. All of the answers are found in the PowerPoint. After the presentation, there is student/teacher discussion and Q & A about the topic.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Education from Maryland Bible College and Seminary

I offer math enrichment (MathArt) and natural science online classes that address other subjects (also known by unit studies, thematic units, integrated learning, and cross-curricular). What is MathArt? MathArt is a thematic educational journey with a math and history backbone. I teach how math relates to the real world around us. MathArt shows the rich and beautiful connections there are between math, science, history, culture, literature, music, and the natural world. Currently, I offer marine biology and reptile, and amphibian (herpetology or herps for short) thematic unit online studies.

I've held a BA in K - 12 education since 1996. I hold two certificates of completion from the Wilderness Awareness School Kamana program. I have been teaching online classes since 2011.

I've been a full-time RVer with since 2013. I use some of the nature photography from my travels in my picturesque PowerPoint presentations. I desire to RV and backpack Europe someday.
