Welcome to Nature Stream Study where learners will get the opportunity to get an introduction to streams, study aquatic life that inhabit these bodies of water, experiment with water testing and understand stream health quality. Each week learners will begin with an interactive presentation that will introduce the topic. After each presentation, learners will dive into an activity, game, or experiment! For example, learners will understand how to identify aquatic species and how they are used in the stream's health quality assessment. We will experiment with water quality and learners will be encouraged to test water quality near them and follow along. It is my goal to have learners experiencing what they are learning by enganging in activities. I feel this helps everyone understand the concepts better, but more importantly it's so much fun! Depending on the time of year, I will bring some stream species to class. Check out more topics and activities below. Week one: Introduction to streams: what and where? Week two: Stream inhabitants: who lives there? Week three: Water quality and stream health assessment: water testing Week four: Impacts of erosion Week five: Improving stream health Please let me know if you do not see a date or time that works for your schedule!

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
