Because this is a science-based class about animals, I will be mentioning the fact that some animals hunt and eat other animals; however, there will be no graphic images, graphic videos, or graphic descriptions. Google Slides will be used to present the information and images to the learners. I will be using the screen-share function to present to the class. Learners will not need to have their own Google Slides accounts.
