Upon completion of this class learners will be able to:
-describe the mechanisms of a sea star's hydrostatic skeleton.
-describe the common characteristics of sea stars and their relatives.
-describe the anatomy of a jellyfish stinging cell.
-describe the common characteristics of a jellyfish.
-describe the structure and function of a fish swim bladder. 
-describe the structure and function of shark denticles.

I strive to create learner-centered, integrated lessons that relate content to students’ lives.  I believe that my educational background in the field of marine science, professional teaching degree and extensive experiencing developing/delivering educational programs for all ages, will generate a class experience that fosters learners' appreciation for our oceans and environment.   Please see my teacher profile page for more detailed information on my education and teaching experience.
