Please Note: This FLEX course is also offered in a LIVE format. You can find the location of that class here: https://outschool.com/classes/exploring-the-amazon-rainforest-HVZdHEwB#usDHdU5dX8 ----- Sometimes referred to as the ‘lungs’ of the Earth, the Amazon Rainforest is an incredible place filled to the brim with millions of diverse species. In this FLEX class, students will learn about different flora and fauna that call the Amazon Rainforest home while learning about different aspects of ecology. Some of the species we’ll learn about include: 1) Carnivorous Plants 2) Tarantulas 3) Piranhas 4) Poison Dart Frogs 5) Harpy Eagles 6) Squirrel Monkeys **Please note: there are NO live lessons for this class. The schedule for this class includes the following topics: Week One: Introduction to the Amazon Rainforest, Carnivorous Plants, and Two Arthropods of the Amazon Week Two: Three Reptiles and Amphibians of the Amazon Rainforest + Three Aquatic Animals of the Amazon River Week Three: Biodiversity and Species Richness + Three Birds of the Amazon Rainforest Week Four: Four Mammals of the Amazon Rainforest Week Five: Threats and Conservation of the Amazon Rainforest We will be working both independently and in a group setting. This is the best part about FLEX classes! Each Sunday afternoon (EST time), a pre-recorded video (touching on the basics of the scheduled topics) will be posted for students to watch. In addition, supplemental videos, optional homework assignments, tasks, fun activities, and discussion questions will be posted. Students are encouraged to complete the assignments and tasks to get the most out of the course. **Please note that both the pre-recorded videos and the supplementary videos will be via YouTube Throughout the course, online discussions will be prompted in the Outschool classroom. This will allow students to discuss ideas, concepts, and questions with their peers from around the world. In addition, I will be monitoring the classroom and supplying guidance throughout. I will be encouraging participation in the online discussions as much as possible but it is also a responsibility of the student to try and check in at least once a week. How is this course interactive? 1) Discussions: Students are encouraged to participate in the discussions to get to know fellow students from around the world! The more active students are in discussions, the more we can build a sense of community. 2) Quizzes: Students will have the option of completing fun quizzes via an external website (Kahoot) each week. No registration or account necessary! 3) Fun Activities: There will be fun activities throughout the course where students can complete and post their results in the classroom. Sharing with each other will be a great way for students to interact and see creativity within the class. 4) Supplementary Videos: I will be posting supplementary videos in the class to coincide with the pre-recorded video. This will allow students to have more visual understanding of concepts discussed. My goal is to make learning fun, exciting, and efficient. As such, you can expect responses to emails or inquiries within 24 hours (though usually much quicker). If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out!

Learning Goals
By the end of the six classes, students would have learned the basics about the following:
1) Wildlife - 15 different animals that can be found in The Amazon Rainforest (some of which are solely found in this area). We will learn what they eat, behaviours, and fascinating facts of these creatures. In addition, we will also learn about some fauna.
2) Biodiversity and species richness
3) Threats - We will have conversations about what threats The Amazon Rainforest is facing and what people are doing to help conserve this amazing place.
