Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
From the outback to the forests, there is no shortage of cute, deadly, and dangerous animals!

Many animals in the world are unique to Australia, whether its in the outback, a swamp, or a lush forest.

Each week, we will learn all about two different animals lifestyles, the adaptations that allow them to thrive in environments that are often extreme, reproduction, predators, and the impact that human activity holds for each animal on a day-to-day basis.  Conservation is always a running theme through my classes.

Learning Goals
Students will understand how animals can thrive in even the harshest environments due to specialized adaptations necessary for survival.  Students will learn many things such as habitat, behavior, diet, and fascinating facts about 2 amazing Australian species each week. There will be some live appearances from my own collection of reptiles every now and then, when relevant to the class material.
