In this Animal Science class, your child will learn even more weird and wacky facts about numerous creatures from all around the world, adding to their knowledge in part 1! You can take these classes in any order, so don't worry if your child hasn't taken part 1. Feel free to mix it up! For example, did you know that Sea Cucumbers breathe through their butts? Or that the Horned Lizard shoots blood out of its eyes? I bet you thought that bulls get angry at the color red, didn't you? It turns out, bulls can't even see the color red! MYTH BUSTED! I am here to teach your child the facts, and bust the myths around some of the world's weirdest animal behavior. This class incorporates tons of animal science, biology and weird and whacky facts that will keep your kids wanting more! After class, your child is welcome to test their new knowledge in a fun game of Kahoot! My unique style of teaching is energetic, enthusiastic, and a little bit silly. My teaching style will help your child learn and remember the information we will be discussing throughout the class! After class, your child will have loads of new knowledge with which they can, in turn, teach you! Get ready to hear even more weird animal facts you never knew before! I can't wait to meet your child! Ms. Marie:)
Learning Goals
Learners will become informed about many weird animal behaviors, and will understand the reasons behind these behaviors. As strange as an animal behavior may seem, it always serves a purpose, and it is usually essential to their very survival!
Your child will also be able to teach you about some of their weird things animals do, as well as some new common myths that we will bust together, myths which you probably spent your entire life thinking were true!

Do you have an animal lover in your life? Or perhaps a future zoologist, veterinarian, or conservation minded young learner? Then you've come to the right spot!
My name is Marie, and as an Animal Science teacher, I would love to teach your child all about the amazing animals in this world!
I have taught over 20,000 students on Outschool, and I have 18 years of experience teaching at all levels.
I believe in eliciting as much student output as possible. Learners are encouraged to ask questions (and to share knowledge on each topic) as we learn together.
When I am not playing an instrument, I enjoy watching every nature show in existence alongside my children, learning as much as I can about the weird animals in the world so that I can bring it to the classroom and share it with your child!
I look forward to meeting your learner in class!
Ms. Marie
