An animal's in trouble! Ryder and the mighty pups to the rescue! This introductory animal science class presents fascinating animals in a fun and exciting way designed to tap into the great energy and curious nature children have. -Learners will familiarize themselves with some fun facts and gain a basic understanding of what life is like for each animal presented. What do they like to do? Do they live alone or together in families as we do? I will present slides, videos, and use visual effects throughout the class, and also encourage discussion so that everyone can easily understand all of the topics covered. The topics will be as follows: Week #1 - Lions part 1. Week #2 - Lions part 2. Week #3 - Tigers part 1. Week #4 - Tigers part 2. Week #5 - Crocodiles part 1. Week #6 - Crocodiles part 2. Week #7 - Chimpanzees part 1. Week #8 - Chimpanzees part 2. Week #9 - Elephants part 1. Week #10 - Elephants part 2. Week #11 - Leopards part 1. Week #12 - Leopards part 2. Week #13 - Monkeys part 1. Week #14 - Monkeys part 2. Week #15 - Rhinoceros part 1. Week #16 - Rhinoceros part 2. Although this is a science class, it also includes arts and crafts as well as singing, dancing, and discussions to best understand the content presented. No prior knowledge is required, and I will provide certificates for students who try their best.
Learning Goals
My goal as an educator is to present information in an exciting and novel way so that it's memorable to your child. I also love to create social moments throughout the lesson that give the students a chance to discuss what they have been learning and relate to the information as well as to each other.
In this class specifically, we'll focus on the habitats and behavioral characteristics of each animal and also compare them to ourselves.
Students will have several opportunities throughout the class to stop and discuss ways they are similar or different to the animal presented and also share what they think about the subject. These are always great little "brain breaks" for the kids and add to the engagement within the class.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Learners will have the opportunity to sing and dance along with the animals which is great fun, but to do so safely it is recommended they have parental guidance, a small open space in front of their screen, proper footwear, and adequate stretching beforehand if needed.
Supply List
Worksheets will be provided for parents to print out prior to class and please prepare a pencil and crayons as well. I will provide other activities for any student who is without a worksheet and ensure they don't feel left out in any way.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
