Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
In this one-time class we will explore cat behavior, where they live, and why they are so important to their ecosystems. This class will use the topic of cats to introduce key concepts in ecology such as habitat, trophic levels, and predator/prey balance.

We will investigate questions such as:

What is a cat?
What kind of cats are there?
What does your house cat have in common with lions and other big cats?
What is a predator?
How have cats adapted to different environments?

The class is lecture and discussion based. Learners will view and participate in a presentation full of images and some videos. They will have the opportunity to ask questions and think critically about feline ecology!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from American Military University
Hello! My name is Arwen, and I am absolutely passionate about space science, the environment, and teaching! I offer courses about the solar system, planets, natural processes, soil, and the environment. I am a NASA Solar System Ambassador and science author. My Master's is in Space Science, and I have undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Ecology, and Natural Resource Management. I am currently working on a doctorate in STEM education. 

I believe curiosity and learning are human instincts. I try to honor that by asking the learners lots of questions and encouraging them to think about information in new ways.

When not teaching, you can find me hosting "Found in Space: A Science Podcast for Kids and Teens" or playing Dungeons and Dragons and exploring the Southwest with my three homeschooled kiddos and our cat named Eratosthenes! 

I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.
