In this one-time, 50-minute class, we'll explore fascinating creatures like manatees, dolphins, whales, seals, sea lions, otters, narwhal (the iconic "unicorn of the sea"), and more. We will discuss habitats, both local to the students and around the globe, and learn about conservation efforts in those areas. Our discussion of diet and social behavior will explain the differences between marine and land mammals, and the differences between mammals and fish. Students are encouraged to engage and ask questions, but are welcome to passively absorb if they prefer. Optional Homework: Write a ~1 paragraph reflection of what you learned in the class to promote knowledge retention. Finally, I recommend checking out my Teacher Profile, especially my Teaching Philosophy section, to make sure this is a fit for your student. I also offer this class is part of a multi-week Virtual Natural History Museum course: https://outschool.com/classes/virtual-natural-history-museum-dinosaurs-the-ice-age-oceans-and-rainforests-UWh8H1Gu and as a Self-Paced Class: https://outschool.com/classes/exploring-oceans-marine-mammals-to-the-mariana-trench-jbykcyyx#usu529M6QA if your student prefers one of those methods of instruction.
