US Grade 4 - 7
This club will be a fun way to explore the primates of the world together! Study a different type of primate each week! Gain an overview of the distinctive characteristics of the following primate groups (depending on the week(s) joined): great apes, lesser apes, new world and old world monkeys, and prosimians. Learn about lemurs, monkeys, and apes through discussion, photos, videos, and real life stories. Find out about the scientists that study primates, learn the names for primates in...
Learners will improve their understanding of the unique characteristics that define the groups of animals known as primates, plus learn fascinating facts about specific primate species from around the world. Learners will improve their understanding of primate classification and be able to identify particular species.
I am offering this class because I love learning about primates, and am enthusiastic about sharing primatology with students. I have countless personal experiences with primates in the wild that I think will help to connect learners to the concepts of primate classification. I have a minor in Anthropology and took several primatology classes in college.
Students may choose to print a primate mask and/or coloring sheet for each class. The mask craft works best if printed on card-stock, but if you don't have card-stock, you could print it on regular paper and glue it onto a paper bag or cardboard from a cereal or cracker box. Other supplies for the mask craft: ~scissors ~coloring utensils ~hole punch ~yarn
Scissors are needed for the recommended optional craft projects and parental guidance is required for the use of scissors.
