Welcome to Ocean Exploration with a focus on a variety of marine species! 

My interactive unit studies are geared towards students who enjoy tactile learning through active involvement, experimenting, and activities. Students will learn new information and experience different lessons and activities with each unit. Let's dive into some marine species!

Classes start with an interactive presentation followed by an experiment or hands-on activity that helps students visualize and better understand the topic of the day. My presentations are extremely visual with few words. Sometimes our activities and experiments take place in the beginning or middle of the presentation based on what we are learning. I believe in order to fully understand something it is best to jump in and experience it! This class is a multi-disciplinary course as there is a combination of science, art, and a wee bit of math. 

Check out our topic list!
