Animal science helps students explore and learn about animals around the world and their unique qualities. In this course we will learn about what a marine mammal is in the first lesson. Each lesson after will focus on a specific animal, where we will learn about anatomy, diets, habitat, facts and much more! Each week will be composed of 3-4 tasks that can be done daily or all in one day what ever works best for the student! The week will have a video along with worksheets, vocabulary words to learn and practice review games. The week will end with a Kahoot to quiz the students on what they have learned that week. If students complete all tasks each week the course should take 9 weeks to complete. While the class is self-paced I am available for feedback and answering questions even after the 9 week period. Please expect to have answered within 72 hours (typically much sooner on weekdays) of sending messages. Certificates of completion are available as well. This class is a self-paced course meaning we will not meet live together. Students will be encouraged to share completed worksheets, something new they learned, along with any questions. Please see the syllabus for specifics on each lesson.
