Soggy Science: Paddling the Extra Mile for Education

Aaron is a Chicago Public School teacher, currently teaching biology and zoology at Kelly High School on the city’s south side. Prior to becoming a high school teacher, he served as a US Peace Corps volunteer for three years in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu where he worked as a classroom teacher, curriculum designer and manager of a cyclone relief fund. As a 2008 Fund for Teachers fellow, Aaron paddled a kayak more than 1000 miles down the lower Mississippi River to study nutrient pollution and design a river ecology unit for high school students. His writing and photographs have appeared in Sea Kayaker Magazine, Wavelength Paddling and on GoNomad.com.
