The diversity of aquatic and semi-aquatic creatures is incredible. From the quick colour changing abilities of the cuttlefish to the long migration patterns of the leatherback sea turtle, these creatures are ready to shock you (sometimes literally!) with their skills.  

Two aquatic (or semi-aquatic) animals take the spotlight in each of these weekly, fact-filled lessons. The animals will include a variety of invertebrates, mammals, fish, reptiles, and seabirds.

There are forty-four classes of two creatures each before the sessions repeat. 

*Each class is independent from each other. Therefore, students can drop in at any time. If a student comes in during the middle of a session, it's no problem! The sessions will eventually repeat and they can continue through the loop until they are back to the first class they took.

This class will be more of a lecture style (yet interactive) class with a PowerPoint, photos, videos, and fascinating facts. We will have conversations about these creatures and students are encouraged to ask questions and discuss (although are also welcome to just absorb the information if they prefer).

At the end of each class, we will play a short trivia game about what we’ve learned. Participation in the game is optional and students are welcome to watch or answer privately.

Being a scuba diver, avid traveler, and having worked with many animals (including marine animals), I will also be using personal experiences within the content when I can!
