Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
This is Part 1 of the Reptile Research, Draw, and Present (RDP) Series. However learners can take each part in any order as they do not build on each other.

No background experience with reptiles is required for this class.

In this course, learners will research different reptiles and draw and prepare a presentation on one of the reptiles. Learners can suggest one of the reptiles to research. 

Some of the information that learners will research and learn on each reptile includes:
What is its common and scientific name?
Where is it currently found/distribution?
What are some of its physical characteristics?
 
Research questions for each reptile will be provided via a Google Document to use during class. 

The class discussion is going to be based on what learner's find during their in-class research.
