This science class will turn into an art class in the blink of an eye! This class will be centered around learning about four different animals that are endangered or extinct. These animals are the giant panda, bengal tiger, mastodon, and the amazing megalodon shark! This class will cover topics such as the difference between endangered and extinct animals, reasons for endangerment and extinction, and interesting facts about the animals. This may include where and when the species lived, what it ate, and how it survived and protected itself. The final part of class will be a creative art project. Learners will make a really cool shark sun catcher to hang up! I will teach this class through a series of slides with that will focus on images and animal facts. Handouts will be provided upon enrollment for each student to read together and complete with information we learn. My teaching style is engaging, fun, and energetic. Students are encouraged to interact with one another, share ideas, participate, and discuss what they learn in class. No experience is required. Come join the fun!
