Class Experience

Beginner - Intermediate Level
Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, chupacabra, the kraken.......are they real? Is each a hoax? The branch of cryptozoology believes these creatures exist. In this private one-on-one class, we will use both sides of science to let each student determine whether these animals are real or not. Students will be presented with evidence for and against a variety of folklore legends to determine for themselves if they truly exist.

Students will choose from a list of cryptids (Bigfoot, Loch Ness monster, chupacabra, kraken, mothman, mokele-mbembe, and more) and we will discuss one at each session. The classes will utilize slides that include many, many pictures of evidence or hoaxes for each cryptid. Videos will be shown as well. There is no required knowledge needed for this class. Maybe students have heard of some of these cryptids....many may be new. Bring your theories with you to class and we will discuss whether these cryptids are real....or not!

Please message teacher upon enrollment so we can discuss which cryptid your student would like to begin discussing.

Learning Goals

Critical Thinking- Each student will determine for themselves whether each creature exists or not and why.
Scientific Method- Students will be presented with the scientific method to help determine whether cryptozoology is a legitimate scientific branch of study.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
There will be mention of 'creatures' or 'monsters'. Please make sure your learner is mature enough (and interested enough!) that these elements are not scary. We may discuss Bigfoot and Bigfoot-type creatures (yeti, Sasquatch), lake monsters (Loch Ness, Chessie), kraken (large octopus) and show videos of some of these creatures (Bigfoot film footage).

I was a middle school science teacher for 10 years and currently homeschool my 11-year-old daughter. I have my Bachelors in Biology and my Masters in Healthcare Administration. There is lots of interest in today's society about pseudoscience i.e. ghosts and monsters of legends. In this class, I want to encourage students to utilize the scientific method to determine whether they can prove the existence of these things. Using their critical thinking skills in this class will encourage them to utilize them in other classes as well.
