Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
In vet, vet-tech, zoology, biology, etc. school, students do not begin by choosing their animal species to learn. Instead, they learn  about all the animals! This class is beneficial for all students considering the vet profession one day. The class will function in this order:

5 minutes: Introductions and welcoming of all new students
15 minutes of instruction via Google Slides (I share screen, students do not need to log in to Google)
5 minutes: Questions and Exploration

This class follows suit with my popular vet escape room class Outschool found here: https://outschool.com/classes/ongoing-escape-room-vet-files-one-animal-medical-condition-at-a-time-9-13yo-YmQZR2ws 

If you have completed the escape room course, please be aware this class is the same material. This class was created by request for students 1) those who needed a more budget-friendly option to access material, 2) those who are uninterested in the escape room, or 3) those a little older. This class allows time for questions and ensures understanding but is not interactive like the escape room. Please enroll via the above link if you desire the extra interaction. Here videos may be included, but it is taught in lecture-style.

** Student requests for ongoing topics are always accepted. I will create a course topic and work it into the schedule.

* PLEASE NOTE * Outschool and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) are very specific about guidelines and rules for diagnosing, treating, and prescribing. I am not a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and even if I was, Outschool is very specific about rules for this during class. For students who inquire about live animals and pets they own, I will always recommend to see a local vet. Students will not be diagnosing, treating, or prescribing medications for their real animals.

Parental Guidance
There is nothing inappropriate and we do not talk about animal reproduction. However, pee, poop, puke, and farts are common everyday topics in the vet world and will be talked about time and time again. We use veterinary appropriate language such as rectum, uterus, colon, etc. When reproduction questions arise, I often respond, "We don't cover those topics in this particular class, but you can have your parent contact me via message after class and I'm happy to help." If there is a specific question with a swift answer, we always use correct terminology.
Supply List
Paper and Pen for Notes if the student prefers.
