We’ll discuss the ratites-the flightless birds. We will concentrate on mostly emu and ostrich and briefly mention the others. Using biofacts, we will see the differences in their eggs and be able to examine feathers and discover why these birds can not fly. I use lots of pictures and biofacts and let the kids figure out the answers through some guidance.
Learning Goals
Be able to distinguish between emu and ostrich

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a former zookeeper and educator for over 10 years. I have taught all grade levels, scouts, adults, homeschool and other special interest groups. I currently teach mostly bug-based classes as Kim’s Critter Classes for homeschool and scout groups.
My classes are discussion based where the students lead the learning within the topic of the class. I include both biofacts and live animals and insects in my classes and try to incorporate a craft or game with every lesson.
I have hand-raised kangaroos, binturongs, aardvarks and other animals that are in zoos across the country. I have also presented animals on tour with Jack Hanna.
Please message me to schedule a class as I have returned to full time work.
