Light is quite important! Without it, you wouldn’t be reading this! Whether it’s natural or artificial, light is useful in so many ways, to so many creatures. Some creatures can take it a step further and create their own light! Come learn about the biology and chemistry of bioluminescence. You may have seen images of these amazing displays, or possibly even been lucky enough to experience seeing it yourself in real life, but many people would not stop to think about the science of this process. How does it work? How can a species possibly create it’s own light, and why can’t I? In this course, learners will gain an understanding of this unique biological process. We will discuss examples in nature of creatures using bioluminescence, and the varying (sometimes scary) reasons they employ this beautiful strategy. We also discuss the biochemical process and exactly how a creature is able to form a light display from chemical reactions inside the body. If you have ever wondered about fireflies, anglerfish, or dinoflagellates near a beach, join us to find out how it all works!
학습 목표
Students will learn the biology, chemistry, and evolutionary reasons bioluminescence exists.

Hello, Outschoolers!
My name is John and I have been a scientist and educator for over 15 years. I hold a Bachelor of Science (Honors in Biology), Master of Applied Sciences, and a Ph.D. in biology. Over my BSc, MSc and PhD I have designed and delivered courses for students aged 3 to 63 for class sizes ranging from one-on-one lessons to classrooms of over 300 students.
I have professionally taught subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, and Math, as well as more focused lessons such as courses in Public Speaking, Time Management, and Conversation Skills. I have worked as a scientific mentor and instructor to students in elementary school all the way to university. I hold certificates for 150-hour Teaching English as a Foreign Language and 250-hour Intensive Teaching certificates, and have participated in seminars for Grading and Giving Feedback to students. I have given scientific conference presentations to audiences of more than 700 people, and have published a number of peer-reviewed scientific articles. I also have experience coaching a variety of sports including hockey, basketball, and volleyball. I have been teaching courses online for 5 years to more than 1200 students.
I am a lifelong student and love to learn new things each day. My teaching philosophy revolves around this idea, that every student has a lot of their own to offer and I always try to relate any topic to a student's interest. You may find classes of mine that take popular culture and relate these hobbies and interests with academic concepts to help students relate to the material. My classes are often heavy in discussion (though no student is forced to speak if they do not want to) and we expand on the material in each lesson based on what students are most interested in. This often results in courses that interest me in particular and that I think can offer students a lot of value and critical thinking skills. I teach high-level academic courses, as well as conversation-based community development to foster interest in sharing things students enjoy.
Private, personalized tutoring is also available. Send me a message if interested.
I hope to see you all in class soon!
John
