Description
Class Experience
In this class, we will learn about some of the largest and strangest ocean animals to have ever lived, while exploring geologic time along the way! Day 1: Introduction and Paleozoic Era. We will start in the Cambrian period, over 500 million years ago, with Anomalocaris. This shrimp-like creature is smaller than a person, but for its time it was gigantic! Moving forward into the Ordovician period, we will meet a new class of apex predators: the shelled, tentacled nautiloids, like Endoceras....
In addition to learning about some amazing ocean creatures, students will learn about how scientists divide the history of the earth into periods, and explore how life has evolved and changed over millions of years!
I have always been passionate about paleontology! I have loved teaching classes on Outschool about the Mesozoic Era and the Ice Age. Now I am excited to explore the history of life from its beginning through some of the strangest and most terrifying ocean predators of all time!
