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 from part 1 and part 2! You can take these classes in any order though, so feel free to mix it up! Join us as we learn many weird, gross, and wacky facts about numerous creatures from all around the world! For example, did you know that a kangaroo will leave their joey behind so that they, themselves, can escape from a predator? Or that the tongue eating parasite kills the tongue of a fish, and then becomes the new tongue? I bet you thought that bears hibernated, didn't you? It turns out, they actually don't! I am here to teach your child the facts, and the myths, that often surround some of the world's coolest animals! This class incorporates tons of animal science, biology and weird and whacky facts that will keep your kids wanting more! After class, your child can play a Kahoot! game to put their knowledge to the test! 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 be able to teach you the weird and wacky things they have learned in class, and will probably want to test out some common myths on you as well!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from University of Prince Edward Island
We will be discussing gross bodily functions of various creatures, such as the lobster, which urinates from its eyes! Of course, class wouldn't be complete without a little bit of science behind animals who eat their own poop! I will do my very best to approach these odd subjects with my usual sense of humor and as much class as possible!
