▬▬▬▬▬▬ COURSE SUMMARY ▬▬▬▬▬▬
This class is an introduction to the fascinating world of fungi through the lens of Pokemon. Here's an outline of what we will cover:
♦ Part 1: Plants vs. Fungi (16 minute recording)
• Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers
• Photosynthesis (and which Pokemon do this)
• Spores, seeds, and pollen - what's the difference?
• How the Pokémon world mixes up these terms in a big way!
♦ Part 2: Good Fungi...No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
We do talk about plant reproduction very briefly in this class, and I compare it to sperm and egg reproduction in humans. I don't go into any details, but some students might feel discomfort or confusion if they haven't yet learned about how mammals create babies.
