Amalia
Amalia Fernand is an environmental educator and world explorer who makes classes come alive with stories from her real-life adventures, props from her science shelf, and live program animals. The founder of Nature Explorers International, she has developed dozens of nature camps and classroom programs to inspire students to explore the world around them, appreciate wildlife, and become stewards of the environment. During classes, she is regularly joined by her friends Scaly the corn snake, Slimy the tiger salamander, and Lizzie the leopard gecko.
Dig into the prehistoric past with "Junior Paleontologists Camp," a thrilling four-week expedition led by the enthusiastic Teacher Amalia! Young fossil hunters will be transported millions of years back in time as they examine real fossils displayed right on their screens. From the towering Tyrannosaurus rex to the massive megalodon, students will uncover the secrets of ancient creatures that once ruled our planet. This hands-on virtual adventure explores dinosaurs, prehistoric marine predators, ancient crocodilians, and magnificent ice age mammals—allowing budding paleontologists to touch the past, understand Earth's incredible history, and experience the excitement of scientific discovery with every fossil examined! Teacher Amalia loves to share her extensive fossil collection and her experience volunteering with paleontology projects, including excavating dinosaur bones in Madagascar! She is experienced at teaching dynamic online classes that integrate stories from her adventures, real fossils, and live program animals. Each day will include three interactive sections full of fun facts, guessing games, and fossil investigations. A short break in between each section will give everyone time to stretch their legs with movement game options such as dinosaur yoga and freeze dance.
