This is a fun biology class that looks at the creepy sea monsters of the deep! This is part two of this class and classes can be taken in any order. In this class, we will discuss a variety of marine life such as sharks, other fish, squids, octopus, crabs, worms, jellyfish, and other deep sea life with a focus on the bizarre, weird, creepy, and strange. This is a beginner class for younger students, however it should be suitable for just about everyone. We will interact using slides, discussion, video clips, and lectures. The deep sea accounts for about 95% of the world's habitable space, yet it is not very well explored. It is an alien habitat, where little to no sunlight can reach, and for humans it is as inhospitable as space. Despite this, it is the space that many animals call home. The animals that call this space home are so different from us, with long needle sharp teeth, glowing bodies, jaws that launch out at it's prey and much more. Some of the deep sea topics we will discuss in addition to the creepy monsters of the deep are: Bio-luminescence Predator and prey relationships Water pressure Light zones Teeth shapes Habitats and Adaptations
Learning Goals
Students will learn about deep sea creatures, how they live in such a harsh environment, and what adaptations they have to help them live.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is MacKenzie Piacenti, but I generally go by Kenzie. I teach a variety of science classes, mainly Biology and animal facts. I also teach Sociology, English Literature, and college advice classes. I graduated Susquehanna University in 2023 with a dual degree in English Literature and Sociology, University Honors, and Summa Cum Laude. I am also a soon-to-be PhD student (in August!), studying Sociology at Howard University. My teaching experience includes being a Teaching Assistant at Susquehanna University for three courses, having taught at Peak Academy for Community Learning for three years, and I have previously been staff at an environmental science camp in Pennsylvania, USA called Conservation Camp. I follow the camp of teaching that follows Harvard psychologist Howard Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences, essentially stating that everyone has a unique learning style and a unique intelligence, and if you engage the students in what interests them they will be more receptive to your teaching. I always try to have my classes be student lead so they can learn while being engaged! Finally, I am the proud parent of a very curious cat, if you take my classes there is a chance you will see one of them!
