Let’s take a short break and head outside! Take your device outside, take a seat, and let’s share some science artifacts. We’ll discuss the eco system around us and I’ll show some real artifacts (deer antlers, feathers, animal bones, etc), take a hike to different spots showing evidence of erosion, decomposition, and much more! This class gives students a chance to take a break, breath and stretch, and get outside! Nature is a wonderful place to discover science. Students in any environment can join in on this class. Backyard, sidewalk, taking a road trip, at the park, the place isn’t important- let’s get outside and see what we can discover! My teaching style is interactive. I love having students tell stories, share something they love, and teach the class new facts. Science is all around us and getting outside is such a great way to learn something new! *Please note, parents/guardians should monitor where their students will be when they are taking their brain break. The topic will vary each week as this will be student-led.

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
