Tiny Science: Entomology Presentations by Jen and Students
Jen Paur’s Tiny Science
Students are taught how to create an engaging presentation and encouraged to present each week if they wish. Jen presents advanced prompts about insects and evolution to facilitate discussion each week.
Class experience
US Grade 3 - 5
Intermediate - Advanced Level
College-style entomology classes for kids. Each week we discuss entomology with emphasis on taxonomy, identification, habitat, ecology, life history, and evolution. Students are welcome to present their own original presentation in the topic of entomology. In lieu of student presentations, Jen relies on ongoing lecture points from her research (evolutionary systems, animal behavior, entomology), academic, and professional experience to promote discussion among the group. All discussion leads...
Students will learn advanced entomology and animal behavior through discussion and photographic/video support.
Jen earned her master of science in evolutionary biology and entomology before embarking on the master project of motherhood! These, combined, led her to start her business Tiny Science, where she teaches science to kids through insects! Jen's background teaching in special ed gives her an advanced set of skills to keep learners engaged and having fun while learning high-quality information.
