US Grade Kindergarten - 8
This course is an introduction to reptiles with a Pokémon twist. We'll study how reptiles are classified into these four orders: 🐢 Crocodilia (gharials, crocodiles, alligators, and caimans) 🐢 Testudines (turtles and tortoises) 🐢 Rhynchocephalia (tuataras) 🐢 Squamata (lizards and snakes) Along the way, we'll compare and contrast these real reptiles with the Pokémon that look and act like them. This is a self-paced course, which means there is no live component. This course contains two lessons. Each lesson has a recording (each 40-50 minutes long), extension activities to expand your learning beyond the recording, and a "Create Your Own Pokemon" project. 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 course, students should be able to:
🐢 Describe how scientists classify living things into categories.
🐢 List the defining characteristics of all reptiles.
🐢 Cite some examples of reptiles from each of the four orders.
🐢 Compare and contrast their favorite reptile Pokemon with the real deal.
🐢 Describe some interesting facts about some of the more unique reptiles.Syllabus

Crocodiles, Turtles, and Cousins
We'll start with an introduction to taxonomy and the characteristics of reptiles. Then we will dive into exploring three orders of reptiles: Crocodilia (with Pokemon such as Krokorok and Feraligatr), Testudines (which includes Squirtle, Torterra, and more), and Testudines. When we discuss Testudines, we'll brainstorm how to create a Pokemon inspired by this unique, overlooked reptile. 49 mins of video lessons

Lizards and Snakes
After reviewing the characteristics of reptiles, we'll explore the reptile Order Squamata and its many lizards and snakes. Pokemon include Groudon, Arbok, Kecleon, Serperior, Scrafty, and so many more! 42 mins of video lessons
