In this class we will go over 10 amazing and unbelievable ocean facts! I will ask you (the students) 10 questions and whether or not you think the statement is true or false. We will then go through the questions one by one and figure out the answer. We will talk about these facts in detail and go over why they are true or false. Some topics include humpback whales, shark attacks, underwater mountain ranges, manatees, seahorses and the age of jellyfish! We will learn so many different things in this class, because it is not limited to just one specific thing. The class will be structured in slide format. First, I will list the true or false questions from 1-10 and the students will try to guess the answer to the statement. Next, we will go through the ten answers one by one with a detailed description of the statement and why it is true or false. At the end of the lesson we will watch a series of short videos about some of the questions that were asked. Students are not required to have any previous knowledge of course material for this course. It is suitable for most ages, though over 6 is best. Lea
Learning Goals
Student goals will include being able to say the ten facts they have learned about the oceans and the animals that live there. They should be able to explain why the fact is true or false, and know how to explain the fact in more detail.

Greetings!
My name is Brittany and I live in Nova Scotia Canada. I have a University degree in Marine Biology and Oceanography and two years of experience teaching English to young learners abroad! In my class, you will learn all about the ocean! We can explore mysterious deep sea creatures, learn about fascinating underwater processes, the water cycle, bioluminescence, underwater volcanoes, currents, tsunamis, invertebrates, whale songs, sea animal migrations and conservation.
I spent many years working on the ocean aboard ships of all sizes studying sea creatures and recording data for the Department of Fisheries here in Canada. I collected otolith samples from Pacific fish species, identified fish caught aboard the vessels and compiled data at sea. I have a Bachelors of Science in Marine Biology and have many years of experience in working hands on with marine life including flatfish, sharks, algae species, invertebrates, whales, sea birds, and many more!
I believe in strong engagement and participation in class that sparks interest and gets young learners thinking about the sea and all of the wonderful things it has to offer. I love to have open discussion and to discuss certain ideas that allow free thought to flow during class. Having fun and feeling free to voice any questions or thoughts is my top priority, and it would be such a delight to show young learners how fascinating this field of work really is.
Aside from being a Marine Biologist and teacher, I am also an artist! I paint oil paintings in my spare time and I sell my work out of my home here in the country side of Nova Scotia. I am also an avid astrophotographer, meaning I take photographs of the night sky. I am a very creative personality and love to explore new ways to express that creativity in a tangible way.
I look forward to meeting you all!
Please note: My classes have a lot of information in them and are most suitable for older learners above the age of 8-9 years.
