US Grade 7 - 10
* Ask questions about how heat transfers and humidity leads to rain
* Analyse how weather patterms form and where they occur

I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.

Some classes talks about Global Warming and Climate Change causing more frequent natural disasters. It also talks about mass extinctions including the possibility of humans causing one now (including ourselves) and has some drawn images of animals dying to become fossils. We also discuss the end of the Sun and Solar System in 5 billion years. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy, colonising other planets), but the more sensitive students may find these topics distressing.
