US Grade 3 - 5
Intermediate - Advanced Level
College-style entomology classes for kids. Each week we discuss entomology with emphasis on taxonomy, identification, habitat, ecology, life history, and evolution. Students are welcome to present their own original presentation in the topic of entomology. In lieu of student presentations, Jen relies on ongoing lecture points from her research (evolutionary systems, animal behavior, entomology), academic, and professional experience to promote discussion among the group. All discussion leads are followed. Student expression and discussion manners are emphasized to promote advanced group skills and critical thinking. Because of the ongoing and colloquial nature of these meetings juxtaposed with the nearly infinite topics entomology allows us to study, the weekly topics follow the interest of the students. Jen offers prompts and pursues answers when necessary. Discussion is lively and on topic.
Learning Goals
Students will learn advanced entomology and animal behavior through discussion and photographic/video support.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be looking closely at various arthropods, mostly insects and nothing gnarly.
Supply List
Learners should have something to draw on and something to draw with. Some learners may wish to use a bound journal to keep their work in.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
Sources of information used in class include work from scientists E. O. Wilson, Charles Darwin, B. F. Skinner, and many regional field guides. Textbooks include For The Love Of Insects (Wilson), Animal Behavior (Alcock), Intro to insect Biology and Diversity (Daly, Doyen, Purcell), the Handicap Principle (Zahavi), The Origin of Species (Darwin).
