Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(306)
New and old world monkeys, apes, lemurs, and more...what's the difference? In this class, students will dive into the fascinating study of primatology by learning about the characteristics, behavior, and ecology of these amazing animals.

US Grade 3 - 6
Taxonomy Tales is a series covering major categories of life on earth--from mollusks to frogs to marsupials, we will learn them all! These classes can be taken in any order. Did you know that chimpanzees (pictured) aren't monkeys...and neither are gorillas, lemurs, gibbons, or orangutans? The taxonomic Order "Primates" is a diverse group of mammals ranging from the 4 inch (9 centimeter) tall Madame Berthe's mouse lemur to the eastern gorilla, who clocks in at nearly 6 feet (2 meters)...
Students will be able to describe the order Primate and the main groups of animals it includes. They will be able to compare and contrast these different animals, sharing what they have in common even though they are so unique! Along the way, students will gain a deeper appreciation for taxonomy as a study and the diversity in the animal kingdom.
I have my BS in Biology (focus on wildlife ecology) and a Master's degree in Science Education. Before teaching, I worked directly with animals in sanctuaries, aquariums, and science museums. I have cared for and educated the public on a variety of animals from monkeys to exotic butterflies to anemones to poisonous frogs to baby seahorses.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
We will not be discussing human evolution in detail, but it will be noted that taxonomically, humans are included in the order Primates. Evolution of other primates WILL be discussed, but it is not the primary focus of this class. We will discuss which primates are the most/least evolved or primitive. I teach only what is accepted by the secular scientific community but also understand that different families may have different views and philosophies. If you are concerned about this, I have many other classes that do not include evolution. Please contact me with any questions!
