Creación de mundos de fantasía y ciencia ficción... ¡con ciencia! - Clase introductoria

I have a bachelor's degree in Marine Biology and a masters degree +30 in Education.  I have been working in education for 15 years as a general ed tutor, camp counselor, Special Ed and mainstream tutor/paraprofessional, coach, and full-time Science Teacher for grades 5-8 and also hold a certification for Biology 8-12.  I am a teacher and "Science-Guy" through and through.  Some life experiences, I was on the Robotics Team in high school, I am SCUBA certified, I was able to study abroad in Australia for a semester while in college, I worked in an Elasmobranch (shark, sting rays, and skates) Morphology lab while in college, after college I volunteered in Marine Mammal Husbandry with California Sea Lions.  

In my time working in education I have held many different professions within the field.  I started out as a Boys and Girls Track and Field Coach at a D1 high school and day-to-day substitute teacher for the town, then became a tutor/paraprofessional (my schedule in classrooms were all science and math classes).  I did four months as a longterm substitute in an 8th grade classroom then I went on to be a full-time tutor through a special program called "Home Instruction".  I would tutor students in all their subjects in their home when they were struggling with things like anxiety, depression, required special accommodations for learning, or maybe just really sick or injured and cannot come into school.  I would spend summers working camps and tutoring (as well as various other side jobs). 

For the past 7 years I have been a fully certified middle school science teacher teaching mostly 6th and 7th grade (although my town would move around the middle school standards a lot and touch on 5th and 8th as well in my classes - lots of vertical planing and coordination for our curriculum).
