This is Part 2 of the Anatomy Research Series. However, learners can take each part in ANY order as each class does not build on each other. Background knowledge is NOT required for this class. Each week, we will research and discuss a different human body organ systems and associated organs following the schedule below: Week of February 5 - 1. Lymphatic system Week of February 21 - 2. Lymphatic system organ - lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels Week of February 28- 3. Lymphatic system organ - bone marrow Week of March 13- 4. Lymphatic system organ - thymus Week of March 27 - 5. Lymphatic system organ - spleen Week of April 24 - 6. Respiratory system 7. Respiratory system associated organ - nose 8. Respiratory system associated organ - mouth 9. Respiratory system associated organ - throat and voice box 10. Respiratory system associated organ - windpipe and airways 11. Respiratory system associated organ - lungs After we cover these body organ systems and associated organs listed, the class is going to cycle back to the first system. Some of the information that we will research and discuss include: Description of the organ system? How is the system organized? What is it location in the body? How does it work? What are common illness or diseases and symptoms associated with the system? What is the most common malfunction and symptoms of this system? Which body parts are closely associated with this system? What is their function? The class will primarily be structured as a discussion guided by the information that learners find in their research during class. After we cycle thru each human body organ system and associated organ, learners can download the google document that was used in class to put together a mini encyclopedia on the organ systems covered in class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree in Science from Rice University
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Dr. Lopez has been teaching science-related courses on Outschool since March 2020. Some of the general topics she has taught include Microbiology, Marine Biology, Ornithology, Botany, Herpetology, environmental science with research and presentation components.
She previously taught undergraduate non-science and science major courses in Ecology, Tropical Biology, and Life Sciences at University of California, Irvine. Furthermore, she lead undergraduate field and lab courses in Ornithology, Ecology, and Biodiversity at Rice University.
EDUCATION
Dr. Lopez earned a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Rice University in Houston, TX and earned a B.S. in Biology from University California, Los Angeles.
Research Experience
Dr. Lopez has conducted research in various ecosystems including mudflats and salt marshes (marine ecosystems), freshwater wetlands, and coastal and riparian terrestrial habitats. Her research has focused on species interactions (herbivore- plant, and plant-plant, predator- prey) and how climate change, water pollution, Nitrogen deposition, and invasive species affect these interactions at the species and community level.
GOALS
Dr. Lopez enjoys motivating and inspiring learners via her teaching to increase interest in science fields. In her courses, Dr. Lopez focuses on transferable skills that learners can use and apply to different areas and career paths. Furthermore, she provides the information necessary so that learners are equipped to make decisions as informed citizens of society in the future about the future of science and current environmental issues.
COURSE POLICIES
1. The courses follow the ‘Limited’ refund model. Parents may withdraw up to a week before class starts with a full refund. Within this timeframe, parents may request a transfer to a new section no less than 72 hours before class is scheduled to start.
2. If your learner has not joined the meeting 10 minutes after the scheduled class start time, the meeting will be cancelled. This is considered a missed meeting and you are not entitled to a refund.
3. If your learner misses 3 consecutive class meetings without previous communication with Dr. Lopez, you forfeit the class fee (no refunds), and any remaining sessions of the class will be cancelled.
4. In the event that a learner misses a class, recordings are privately made available in each classroom upon request if at least one learner is in attendance for that session. However, a recording is not available for sessions in which there is only one learner enrolled.
5. Learners must be respectful at all times of Dr. Lopez and ALL other learners in the class with no exception.
6. Make-up sessions will be provided if there is a problem and Dr. Lopez cannot attend class due to an unforeseen emergency.
