Welcome to Fish: Interactive Unit Study! All of my interactive unit studies are wonderful for kinesthetic learners and anyone who enjoys hands-on education. This course is interdisciplinary combining science, art, cooking, and literature. It focuses on introducing the fish species through interactive presenations and a series of fun activities. For example, learners will participate in a shark dissection and cook together as a class. I encourage learners to share experiences, stories, and/or artifacts that pertain to our topics, but it is not required. You should expect to see us diving into any new questions that learners have that haven't been addressed in my presentations. We research together and find the answer! After every class, I will post a post-activity that is not required, but optional. This could be a video clip, worksheet, or another hands-on activity. Topics include- Week one: Introduction to fish- Design a fish Week two: Food web and invasive species- Choose your own adventure Week three: Fish anatomy- Shark dissection Week Four: Recreation, food, and sustainability- Cooking fish (alternatives if learners don't want to make fish) ***Please note- there is a dissection in this class.

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.Reviews
