Class Experience

Students will learn about the adaptations of each of the three bears of North America and how those traits make them specialized for their environment.  We will discuss the definitions of adaptation and habitat and apply them to the bears.  After this discussion we will craft habitats for the bears using materials collected from nature, paper, clay or playdoh and crayons or markers.  Students will be encouraged to show off their habitats.  I will use this to reinforce the adaptations we learned about at the beginning of class.

Learning Goals

Students will learn definitions of adaptation and habitat.  They will also learn about each of North America's three bears and their adaptations.  Learners will be encouraged to apply what they have learned to complete a creative project.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hey all you parents of budding learners out there!  I am really excited to meet your super scientists.  I have been teaching children in non-formal education settings for 12 years.  My first experience teaching children was about 12 years ago when I worked for my university's bug zoo.  It was so much fun!  I loved it and continued to work for the bug zoo as I pursued my B.S. in Entomology.  When I began my M.S. I continued to work with children by entertaining at birthday parties with my insect collection and live insects.  Then as a PhD. I continued entertaining and started working at the bug zoo again.  When I completed my PhD in entomology I went to work for a field laboratory.  This laboratory hosted lots of children's events.  So I designed many nature based explorations for various age groups over the five years I spent as the Manager of the field laboratory.  When I had my first baby I started working as an adjunct at the local university and started teaching more formal biology classes out of my home.  Recently all universities have been hard hit by COVID, including mine.  They had to lay off all adjuncts due to enrollment shortfalls.  So I am looking for more avenues to teach kids outside of the formal setting.  I am excited to teach all ages as my experience is with kids from PreK - high school.  Send me your super scientists and we will have fun!
