Class experience
US Grade 4 - 6
If you've ever wanted to dig up dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, and saber-toothed cats, this course will teach you how the professionals study prehistoric animals! This is a one time class where we will talk all about the science of paleontology, which is the study of prehistoric life. Join me for an hour and we will: - Learn who paleontologist are and what do they do! - Do an interactive activity where we pick a prehistoric animal and learn where to find its fossils! - Chat about cool...
This class is taught in English.
The lesson will teach students all about the basics of paleontology (for specifics see 'Class Experience'). My goal for the students is to get them excited about science and show the true side of paleontology that is not always represented in movies and books.
- Third year honors university student in a Vertebrate Paleontology major - Volunteered in universities paleontology lab as well as hobby fossil collecting - 5+ years of science communication at science centers and museums
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class is very light when it comes to sensitive content, but I am also aware that every student has a different level of comfort (I should know, I was a very sensitive kid). Below I've listed any topics that could be upsetting, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. What we will be talking about: - Animals dying and becoming fossils - Extinction Topics that can come up when discussing paleontology: - Mass Extinction - This can include things like asteroid impacts, volcanoes, floods, droughts, and climate change - This can lead to discussions about our modern environmental crisis - Bias and lack of diversity in paleontology and other S.T.E.M fields - While paleontology has become much more progressive and accepting over the last few years, it is still important to acknowledge that it is still not a very diverse field. - Predation (animals hunting other animals)
Most of what I am going to be teaching is from a mix of my studies in paleontology and the knowledge I've accumulated being fascinated with prehistory my entire life. Any additional sources will be cited in the lesson.
