This one time, 55 minute class will explore the amazing variations that exists among seahorses and their relatives. No previous knowledge of seahorses is required, this class is targeted to learners who are interested in exploring Marine Biology, Zoology, conservation or ornamental species aquaculture as a future career path. This class is a STEM focused and will investigate the evolution of this fascinating fish, as well as: What do they eat, where do they live? How has adaptation and diversity resulted in such an amazing creature? What threatens the survival of the seahorse? Do programs for conservation and reintroduction of seahorses exist? What do you mean seahorse dads have to give birth? What kinds of jobs involve the care of seahorses? I have over 15 years experience raising various species of seahorses. I will be answering these questions and others during this interactive class that will include Prezi slides, videos, a quiz and discussion that will actively engage learners.
Learning Goals
Learner will complete this class with an understanding of how seahorses and their relatives evolved, their habitat and lifecycle. They will also be able to identify at least 2 seahorse species and relatives.

Teacher expertise and credentials
A lifelong interest in the natural world and animals led to an early interest in seahorses. This interest turned into about 15 years experience in keeping a variety of seahorses as well as working with a well recognized Pacific based public aquarium regarding seahorses. I was able to translate my nearly 18 years experience as an ICU nurse into a scientific approach to this hobby.
