Class Experience

Learn about the real world animals and plants that inspired pokemon. Find out how your favorite pokemon compare with the real animals and plants. We are going to focus on the science and nature behind the pokemon and what cool things the real animals can do.

Each class will start with 10 minutes of discussion about our favorite pokemon, what games we play or shows we watch, and also our favorite animals. Next we will have 30 minutes of lecture and discussion about the pokemon and the nature related topics. The last five minutes will be for questions, sharing, or discussion, depending on the learner's interests. Students who attend multiple weeks can make a request for their favorite pokemon to be added to a future lesson.

We are going to start with Generation 1- Kanto Pokemon. July will bring us to Generation 2, Johto

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm new to pokemon, but I think they are so cool. The creator originally wanted to use them to connect kids with nature, and I want to dig into that connection. I started with Pokemon Go, and have started playing on the switch. My favorite pokemon are: Snorlax, Growlithe, and Venusaur.
