Just look up photos to get a sneak peek at these funky friends! This class is perfect for budding animal lovers who want to learn about the amazing diversity of life in the animal kingdom. The class will explore reptiles and amphibians. Other editions of this class cover marine animals, birds, insects, mammals and more! Check out my profile to see other classes in this series. There is no required sequence for classes in this series.

This class will be an interactive lecture using slides, photos, and videos, as well as discussions throughout the class.
Learning Goals
Students will increase their knowledge of zoology by using the above animals as case studies. Students will be able to name and describe these animals and their unique characteristics. Students will apply the concept of adaptation to consider how these characteristics help animals survive. As a side effect, students may become highly enthusiastic about learning science!
