In this 30-minute course, we will define habitat and cover the basic needs of plants and animals within a habitat. Basic needs covered are water, space, shelter, food, and sun. After learning the basic needs, we will go on a scavenger hunt for items around the home. Students will be able to relate an item to the need of a plant or animal. This hands-on course is fun, promotes creativity, and gets students moving! There are no PowerPoints in this course. I will bring materials for examples as the students go on their scavenger hunts. Students do not need to have previous knowledge about habitats. There will be a printable worksheet for students to continue learning after the class!

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
