Class Experience
Have you ever wondered about how bad a wildfire can be? Do you remember the wildfires from 2020 in Australia that burned over 15 million acres? How about California in the USA, which had over 8,200 wildfires in 2020? We'll look at the who, what, where, whys, when, and hows of wildfires: Why do wildfires happen? How are they managed? What damage do they do? Are there any benefits to wildfires? What happens to the animals that live in the forests? Students will list the benefits and...
Learn about the science of wildfires. List the benefits of wildfires. List and explain the causes of wildfires. Describe conditions that prompt wildfires. Explain where to expect wildfires. Explain how animals survive wildfires.
I have taken a two-week intensive course working with US Forestry Engineers as a science teacher. During this professional development, I participated in all aspects of forestry management. I am a state-licensed teacher and highly-qualified in teaching science and history to grades 2-9.
Students may want to research wildfires in their area. I will gladly help students find where to search for more information.
The teacher created guided-notes or notepaper and a pencil or pen.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
- Kahoot!
Kahoot! quiz posted to students the week after class.
55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Wildfires are a part of nature, but that doesn't mean that some students will not have a fear of fire. Images of fires will be posted. I do not show images that are graphic of dead or injured animals or people.
