US Grade Kindergarten - 10
Amphibians are fascinating creatures - and so are Pokemon! This course is a great introduction to frogs, toads, salamanders, and the mysterious caecilians. We'll study the taxonomy of amphibians, and how they are classified into three Orders. Along the way, we'll compare these creatures to their Pokemon counterparts, and even design some of our own amphibian Pokemon. This is a self-paced course, which means there is no live component. This course contains 2 lessons. Each lesson has a video recording (each about 45 minutes long), extension activities to expand your learning beyond the recording, and a "Create Your Own Pokémon" challenge. Need a discount? Sure thing! All of my self-paced courses are "pay what you can afford." To get the discount you need, sign up for the course first, then message me with the discount you would like, and I will apply a partial refund.
Learning Goals
By the end of the class, students should be able to:
♦ Describe the basic concept of taxonomy.
♦ List the characteristics that all amphibians share.
♦ Explain the life cycle of salamanders and newts.
♦ Explain the life cycle of frogs and toads.
♦ Compare/contrast salamanders with frogs/toads.
♦ Name the type/species of amphibian their favorite amphibian Pokemon is based on.
♦ Describe what a caecilian is.
♦ Recall some interesting facts about amphibians.Syllabus

over 2 WeeksLesson 1:
Salamanders and Caecilians
We'll start with an introduction to the concept of taxonomy, and explore how amphibians fit in this system. Then, we'll discuss the common characteristics of amphibians. Next, we'll explore salamanders and their Pokémon counterparts, such as Mudkip, Chansey, Quagsire, Salandit, and more! Finally, we'll talk about Caecilians and create a Caecilian Pokemon. 49 mins of video lessons
Lesson 2:
Frogs and Toads
What are frogs and toads? What characteristics do they share with salamanders and caecilians? How are they different? Are Bulbasaur, Greninja, and Lickitung amphibians? Why or why not? At the end, we'll also explore some weird frogs and toads that would make excellent Pokemon! 39 mins of video lessons
