Description
Class Experience
**It's Back-to-School time out there for many students. If you would like to see this class offered at a different day/time during the week or weekend, message me and let me know. I'll check my calendar and see if I can accommodate your request. ** (Interested in my animal science classes but would prefer a Weekly Ongoing format? I have created two ongoing classes where you can enroll and learn about all my wild animal topics through a weekly subscription you can join, pause or cancel at...
1. Students will learn facts about the physical characteristics of Humpback Whales such as size, features, diet and habitat. 2. Students will learn how scientists use these characteristics to compare and classify Humpback whales. 3. Students will learn why conservation of Humpback Whales is important and what is being done to prevent their extinction. 4. Students will also learn new vocabulary words related to the study of Humpback Whales and ocean science.
As a child, I developed a strong love of nature and animals. Learning about and then teaching science became my passion in life and so I taught classroom science to preschool and elementary aged students for almost twenty years before coming to the Outschool platform.
There will be optional educational materials available in the classroom after class for learning extension. This class and its activities can provide a great way to develop, enrich or follow a learner's interests, as well as supplementing any afterschool or homeschool learning program. ** Also, after class, a link to a fun, simple test-your-knowledge Kahoot quiz will be shared in the comment section on the classroom page. This is optional. Younger learners might need help with reading and answering. It is a private link, no account necessary. **
1 file available upon enrollment*Learner Supply List: 1. Print Pack: (attached to the welcome message in the classroom and visible if you are logged in as the LEARNER) Contains the activity sheets for identifying (by labeling, matching or coloring) the characteristics of a Humpback Whale. If you can't print, students can bring paper and draw their own, or just follow along onscreen. 2. Paper (example: notebook or loose paper) 3. Pencils or Crayons and Markers AFTER CLASS: 1. A Certificate, Fact and Vocabulary sheet and any additional educational materials for learning extension will be available in the classroom as a download after class. 2. **Also, after class, a link to a fun, simple test-your-knowledge Kahoot quiz will be shared in the comment section on the classroom page. This is optional. Younger learners might need help with reading and answering. It is a private link, no account necessary. **
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will be learning concepts of science along with the opportunity to further develop their math, geography, vocabulary and creative thinking skills during class. I try to pace the class so I can reserve the last ten minutes for questions, reflection and student sharing. This is a fun type of closing activity that helps students organize and reflect what they have learned. There will also be additional educational materials available in the classroom after class for extended learning. There will also be additional educational materials available in the classroom after class for extended learning, including a link to a fun, simple test-your-knowledge Kahoot quiz that will be shared in the comment section on the classroom page.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
NO scary or violent content here, just scientific facts presented in a positive way to encourage learning and scientific discovery. AFTER CLASS optional Kahoot: A link to a fun, simple test-your-knowledge Kahoot quiz will be shared in the comment section on the classroom page after class. This is optional. Younger learners might need help with reading and answering. Private link, no account necessary. **
