During this class, students will learn different kinds of sharks, where they live, their diet, some unique facts about them, and what makes the ancient creatures alive for so long! Students will learn most about apex predators and why they play an important ecological role in the environment. We'll also dive a little into science concepts, but mostly, this class is an opportunity to observe, share ideas, and learn more about the creature. Pictures will be accompanied to show students the different species of sharks and what makes each of them unique. This class will be discussion-based so students have the opportunity to share their thoughts and discuss with one another some observations they have! Talking during discussions is not mandatory and only encouraged.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of apex predators, specifically, sharks and their role in the environment. They'll also learn lots of new and unique facts about the animal.

Hello! My name is Anna and I'm excited to meet your student(s)! I am a fisheries biologist and environmental educator with a B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences. I am currently an Outdoor School Science Program Instructor in Portland, OR. I have experience teaching environmental education in an in-class, at home, or outdoor setting. I have a background in working with students in leadership development and acting as a mentor for students interested in science. I take an interdisciplinary approach to teaching by including different cultural lenses to the topic as well as, other subjects (art, English, math, etc.). My classroom is a safe space for students of all backgrounds and abilities! My classes will be catered towards stream ecology, wildlife biology, fish biology, botany, entomology, environmental history, marine biology, and all things living! I believe anyone could be a scientist as long as you're curious and constantly asking questions. I'm open to feedback and learning more about how to best work with your student. Let's make learning about science fun and easy to understand!
