I've been studying science all my life. My father was a renowned herpetologist. As such, I grew up surrounded by animals, plants, and other life forms. I followed my interests in college by studying biology as well as education. I taught middle school science for 21 years, then worked as the middle school science education specialist for the State Department of Education in Alabama for 6 years. In retirement, I am still actively involved in many scientific communities, and stay engaged with groups such as the North American Association for Environmental Education and the National Science Teachers Association. I am passionate and knowledgeable about the study of life, and about passing on this passion to youngsters.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Kahoot!

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Kahoot is a COPPA approved resource. No information is stored about the users. Learners will not need to create an account to play. I will provide a link via the Zoom chat function, and all the learner needs to do is click on that link and enter a Game PIN which I will share and a nickname or name of their choice.
