Class Experience

Through an engaging Powerpoint presentation and in-class discussion, students will learn about the very beginnings of fish that began in the Cambrian Period nearly 541 million years ago by learning about a few specific species that set down the blueprints for the fish we are familiar with today.  A couple of short Youtube videos will be shown during class that will help students envision these animals during the Cambrian.

Learning Goals

Students will understand the beginning of fish after taking this class.  We will discuss the different species that developed the blueprint of today's fish.  The discussion will be accompanied by a Powerpoint presentation and a couple of short Youtube videos.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Kennedi Travis and I have a passion for passing on knowledge! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife Management from Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, SD, and worked for the state of South Dakota as a Fisheries Technician for three years. I also participated in Spider Studies and DWU for two years identifying different types of wolf spiders found in the state of South Dakota.  I have vast experience volunteering in local classrooms on my days off.

Science, particularly Biology, is one of my favorite things to teach and I also have a special love for history.  I value teaching learners of all ages and feel that knowledge is our most valuable resource. 

I look forward to teaching your learner with fun and educational classes using science and facts.  Thank you very much.
