Each week in this ongoing course, learners will explore the life and world of a new single arthropod; we will cover vocabulary words and meaning, life cycle, ecology, morphology and more that make the world of each arthropod so fascinating. As with many of my classes, learners will interact with myself and each other to develop critical thinking. Presentation slides with visuals and short video clips will help support discussion as learners are brought into the learning process. Comprehension checks are provided in the form of light hearted games at the end of class to review information. Learners will also be given the opportunity to try and draw each insect during the lesson. 

Class will be scheduled once per week. Once the end of the alphabet is reached, classes will restart at A. Please note that topics may change due to current events or learner requests. 

***Additionally, a few sections are off schedule by a week or so. Please message me if you would like to confirm what topic we are on before enrolling***
