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 about the physical characteristics of Polar Bears such as size, features, diet and arctic habitat. 2. Students will learn how scientists use these characteristics to compare and classify a mammal species such as the Polar Bear. 3. Students will learn why conservation of Polar Bears is important and what is being done to prevent the extinction of this arctic species. 4. Students will also learn new vocabulary words related to the study of Polar Bears and their arctic habitat.
I have a BA in Elementary Education and my credentials are uploaded to Outschool. I taught classroom science to both preschool and elementary aged students for almost twenty years before coming to the Outschool online platform. As a child, I developed a strong love of nature and animals through books and hands-on experiences. Even now as an adult, I'm constantly reading, researching and learning everything I can about conservation and the natural world.
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 an Arctic Polar Bear.

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.
