Welcome to my classroom! This class is all about slimy slugs! Students are encouraged (but not required) to share any stories or show and tell anything slug related. We will start by exploring the habitat of slugs and the basic body parts. We'll learn why slugs have slime and I'll answer all slug questions! After our introduction, we'll be scientists and make some observations of LIVE slugs!! How fast do they move? How much slime do they produce while moving? Are some of the slugs larger than others? Lastly, we'll conduct an experiment- slug racing! With a few materials, students will get to mix their own slug slime and race their slugs. Looking for a custom class? Looking for a different date and time? Send me a message or check out my other classes!

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.
