Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 5
This class is geared towards learners who would like to be given the details and be able to work through the challenges on their own with assistance when needed from the instructor. Each of the challenges is laid out in the 4 page workbook provided. The challenge is presented in a short (2-5 minute) presentation and the students are given 15 minutes to complete the correlated task with the guidance of the teacher. At the end of each, the students are able to share their work if they would like. 
There are four challenges all together which will be tied together through a valentines day theme:
1. The Human Heart Model (biology)
2. Warming a Robot's Heart (paper circuits)
3. Valentine Transport (engineering)
4. Valentine's Day Magic (optical illusion)

Learning Goals

Students will improve their knowledge on how a heart pumps blood, building circuits, zip line physics, and how optical illusions work.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! am a scientist and adventurer. I have a Masters degree in Animal Science with minors in Chemistry and Fish & Wildlife. I started my journey investigating sheep and goats, went on to study shrimp and zooplankton, and have many years of experience teaching STEM to students from preschool up to college.
The classes that I am currently teaching cover Food Science, Animal Science, Ichthyology, STEM experiments, and Women in STEM.
All my classes are anchored in exciting themes such as "Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse through STEM", "Interesting Animals from A to Z", and "Microscopic Adventures!". I generally have a short presentation which I try to keep 5-10 minutes long with the rest of the class time working with hands on learning. I create all my own high-quality material that your students will enjoy engaging with. My classroom is inclusive to all. 
Interesting facts about myself: 
1) I am an identical twin.
2) I have studied seabirds in Antarctica.
