Learners should have a basic understanding of mimicry.Class Experience
US Grade 8 - 11
We all know the classic examples of mimicry using the monarch butterfly and the coral snake but which cane first-the mimic or the model. We will discuss classic mimicry, adaptations, evolution and give examples as review. We will then dive a bit further into explaining the different types of mimicry-Batesian and Mullerian mimicry and propose a different perspective of the classic monarch butterfly and coral snake examples. Live animals might be available but plenty of pictures will be used.

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.
