Can’t find them?

That’s because science isn’t a race, gender, ethnicity, age or color. Science isn’t someone, it’s everyone.

ID help! 📍Southern Spain. It was squishy & green, concave disc shaped, fuzzy but firm. Anemone? Weird algae? Sorry for the sandy pic

@KellyBrenner I can’t wait to learn how to make my own pitfall trap and then 3-4 days from then forget I made aforementioned pit fall trap and put it to use by capturing… myself

[Also maybe I don’t fully understand what it is, and can’t wait for the book to teach me!]

@DrKeltonMcMahon I told them about no-bones, but now I need to take it a step further about fossils! 🦴 Thank you!

Teaching about sharks🦈 this week! What’s something you wish children knew about sharks? 🤔 [Goofy facts encouraged]

At the meet & greet we did a scavenger hunt! Here are the kids putting together the habitat. Side note, did you know that tablecloths make great beach blankets? Sand doesn’t stick!

I moved to Spain! Yesterday kicked off the first day of my marine biology school, Marine Science Rota. I will be teaching programs from my home & local beaches to the US military families in the area! Very excited for this journey 🌊

Aside from the Araipama and the Eartheater (lol), you can tell that Ariel’s living in the Indian Ocean somewhere with those fishes. Some Red Sea endemics and general western Indian Ocean species here. Im guessing dystopian future where the Gulf of Aqaba has widened.

BOOK GIVEAWAY! On 13 Feb 1997, nearly 5m bits of Lego fell into the ocean when a cargo ship was hit by a huge wave. To mark the occasion, we’re giving away 2 copies of our book Adrift, a voyage into the lingering legacy of a cargo spill. To enter, just like and retweet this post

Does anyone have any insight on NGSS or can share resources on learning and understanding them? 👩🏻‍🏫🔬🐟

[Emma Ferrante @EmmaGFerrante]

To get a group of middle schoolers engaged in a watershed lesson I referred to the model and said “It’s giving… polluted”. Happy to say it worked

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of support I’ve gotten from family & friends to help me collect materials for the programs I’ll be designing. I’m even more excited now to get over there! 🇪🇸🐠🐡🤍 Thank you all for believing in me

[Emma Ferrante @EmmaGFerrante]

@JonPuritz Thank you! I’m excited to start this little passion project. At first I was worried I wouldn’t get interest but the response so far has been incredible!

[Emma Ferrante @EmmaGFerrante]

I am going to be living in Spain in the Spring for 3 months with my fiancé! In efforts to occupy my time while he is at work I am going to be teaching marine science programs to the U.S. military families of the area & there has already been a lot of interest!

[Emma Ferrante @EmmaGFerrante]

Everyone deserves a special learning experience no matter where they live. Much of the sentiment from parents so far is they love the beaches but don’t have the resources to encourage their child’s interest. Here I come to talk their ears off about fish & tide pools! 🪸🐟

[Emma Ferrante @EmmaGFerrante]

I am designing all the programs and purchasing all the materials on my own so if you have any free/low cost educational resources please send them my way!

I am excited to get out and explore through my love of the ocean with the Navy/Air Force families in the area

[Emma Ferrante @EmmaGFerrante]

@MrsSarahEMartin I hope to see you soon!

My summer job as an educator for a marine science camp inspired my new twitter series: Thoughts from campers 💭🐟

Prompt: Make up & draw an animal with adaptions

Camper: My animal’s adaption is it has a big brain, to start companies, it’s already started 2 of them 🧠📈💼
