Description

Class Experience

Dinosaurs. Trilobites. Mammoths. Eurypterids. Only around 3% of the organisms that have ever lived are still around today. The rest are locked away in the fossil record, waiting to be discovered and described as scientists paint a picture of Earth's story. In this weekly ongoing class, students are invited to bring articles or links to news clips to share what they have learned concerning the topics of paleontology and evolutionary biology. We will discuss the findings, methods, and of...

As a teacher with a degree in biology and Masters in science education, I can help students make sense of the new research and provide a sounding board for ideas and thoughts about their specific interest in this incredible field.

Students are strongly encouraged to bring one piece of news concerning paleontology or evolutionary biology each week (I will of course provide some, but the opportunity to do their own research is a big part of this club).

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

All classes are based on the accepted consensus of the secular scientific community, and may include discussions of evolution by natural selection, the cellular and hormonal mechanics of sexual and asexual reproduction, and other aspects of studying living systems.
