The class will begin with introductions and one thing that students might know or love about forest habitats. The possibilities are endless! Maybe it's the beautiful colors, or the sounds the birds make. I will bring items that are related to a deciduous forest habitat (both real and fake). Students will get to see feathers, deer antlers, and other evidence of animals that live in a forest. Students are asked to bring one item that some way relates to a forest habitat. This could be a stuffed animal bear, squirrel, raccoon, etc. or an item that they found outside (rocks, sticks). Look for more examples in the classroom. Students will leave with the basic knowledge of animals, plants, and characteristics of a forest habitat. My goal is to make my classes as fun, creative, and hands-on as possible! There are no PowerPoints in this class. **Students are not required to, but may enjoy Race to Habitats before this course. That course reviews the basic needs of plants and animals that are found in habitats.**

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
