Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
In this class learners will investigate how astronauts eat and a short history of food in space through a short presentation (with lots of pictures). They will then use this new knowledge to create a space menu. We will use the rest of the class to create astronaut ice cream.

This class is designed to get kids hands-on with food science and to encourage imagination of what eating on the space station must be like. Further reading material will be provided at the end of class to spark conversation about what is needed to grow food in space.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! am a scientist and adventurer. I have a Masters degree in Animal Science with minors in Chemistry and Fish & Wildlife. I started my journey investigating sheep and goats, went on to study shrimp and zooplankton, and have many years of experience teaching STEM to students from preschool up to college.
The classes that I am currently teaching cover Food Science, Animal Science, Ichthyology, STEM experiments, and Women in STEM.
All my classes are anchored in exciting themes such as "Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse through STEM", "Interesting Animals from A to Z", and "Microscopic Adventures!". I generally have a short presentation which I try to keep 5-10 minutes long with the rest of the class time working with hands on learning. I create all my own high-quality material that your students will enjoy engaging with. My classroom is inclusive to all. 
Interesting facts about myself: 
1) I am an identical twin.
2) I have studied seabirds in Antarctica.
