This is a class all about the different types of habitats and biomes that can be found all across the globe. Learners will learn about the two main types of habitats, land and aquatic, and then will go on to the specific biomes and environments that can be found in different climates on the continental land masses as well as the oceans and seas. We will also spend time talking about why Earth is able to contain life and how it got to where it is today! We will cover what makes a habitat livable as well as how different organisms require different components to a habitat. There will be plenty of facts provided on these places as well as their characteristics (biotic and abiotic), species diversity, and what makes them so special! We will work on broad (all encompassing) and narrow topics. Some categories to be included but not limited to are: -Forests -Grasslands -Deserts -Polar Regions -Saltwater -Freshwater Biomes and habitats are heavily influenced by climate (Wind/ Temperature/ Moisture/ Currents) and we will go into basic and more in-depth knowledge on how each are created or defined. Students will also learn about their conservation/ preservation, concerns, and threats as habitat degradation and fragmentation are apparent and increasing year by year. EDUCATION is the first step in conservation! This is a lecture style, interactive class with many opportunities to ask and answer questions from myself or other students. No prior knowledge or experience is needed to take this course. A love for nature is most definitely appreciated :)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from The Pennsylvania State University
Hello prospective parents and guardians! My name is Greg or "Mr. G" and I'm an educator from New Jersey, U.S.A..
For over two decades I’ve had a fascination for all there is to do with the natural world and the creatures that call it home. I have worked with and cared for a multitude of species (dogs, frogs, cats, birds, rodents, lizards, snakes, turtles, hedgehogs, fish, various other wildlife, and much more!) throughout the entirety of my life as I tend to my own mini animal sanctuary, love, and work conserving/ researching animals from around the world. I have been teaching learners from over 50 countries here on Outschool since early 2021! :D
I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University where I received a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Minor in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences! My coursework in university focused on veterinary sciences, biological/natural sciences, and wildlife (Mammalogy, Ornithology, Herpetology, Conservation, and Management). I spent time as a veterinary assistant, have participated in university studies and ongoing research regarding plants and animals (invertebrates, reptiles, various flora), have worked as a fauna and flora surveyor through college and beyond. My continued research of the world around us and outreach is one of my greatest missions. I love hearing about my students' interests and knowledge and look forward to imparting my own to them as well!
My focus as an educator is fostering a love for learning, animals, and what the world has to offer past, present, and future. My teaching style is inclusive, interactive, and hands-on. I believe learning should be fun, enjoyable, and thrilling for both student and teacher. I have a variety of animals that can be incorporated in class to help get learners engaged and excited about nature and the world we live in. We need to get our next generation connected to nature and the organisms that live alongside us to pass the torch and save all that we can!
My passions apart from animals are cooking, art, conservation of the planet, and outdoor activities such as hiking and animal surveying.
I absolutely adore what I do and I'm so excited to meet and teach your learner! Thanks for stopping by and remember... never stop learning!
