Welcome to Zoology! In this 4-week unit we will explore mammals, insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and much more! Your children will be engaged through hands-on learning, interactive PowerPoints, and discussion. Here is a breakdown of each class: Week One (Mammals): -Vertebrates -Land Mammals -Aquatic Mammals -Marsupials -Primates Week Two (Reptiles and Amphibians): -Amphibians and Amphibian Metamorphosis -Reptiles: Snakes/Lizards/Crocodiles Week Three (Arthropods): -Invertebrates -Insects and Insect Metamorphosis -Arachnids -Crustaceans -Myriapods Week Four (Birds and Fish): -Identifying Birds -Bird Behavior, Habitat, and Territory -Flight -Fins and Other Fish Anatomy -Cartilaginous Fish We will take an in-depth look into each of these topics, and your children will be creating their own interactive notebook to go along with each lesson. I recommend this course for current 3rd-5th graders. Children will be taking notes throughout the course, and create a visually stunning notebook with references to what they have learned throughout this unit.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! My name is Amy and I am excited to see you here!
I completed my Master's Degree in Elementary Education and am currently certified to teach in the state of Virginia. I have been teaching both online and in-person for around ten years at both the Elementary and Middle School level. I currently teach Science and Geography on Outschool and US History at my local co-op. I also am a homeschool mom to two girls, ages 10 and 7. I love teaching, but I also love learning! Teaching is a very rewarding profession because it allows me to continue my journey as a lifelong learner.
My goal is to provide a comfortable and stimulating environment for your learner. I am a kinesthetic learner which is why I offer lapbooks and interactive notebooks in all of my courses. They are great tools for a variety of learning styles! They are not for everyone, and that is okay if they do not work for your child. We all learn differently. If you are questioning whether this specific style is good for your child, I recommend taking a one-time or ongoing course first.
Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions!
