Class Experience
US Grade 1 - 4
Welcome to Wild Animal World, the Antarctic Penguin edition! OBJECTIVE: In this wildlife science class, students will learn important facts about the characteristics, habitat, diet, life, and the ongoing field work behind the conservation status of Antarctic Penguins. DURING CLASS: For the lesson, I will be using an onscreen presentation that I created with photos and informational text. In addition, I expand the educational content by integrating elements of math, geography and vocabulary....
- Students will learn about the physical characteristics of Penguins such as size, features, and diet.
- Students will learn how scientists use these characteristics to compare and classify a mammal species such as the Penguin.
- Students will learn why conservation of Penguins is important and what is being done to prevent the extinction of this Antarctic bird species.
- Students will also learn new vocabulary words related to the study of Penguins and their Antarctic habitat.
I have a BA in Elementary Education and my credentials are uploaded to Outschool. I taught classroom science, art and language arts to both preschool and elementary aged students for almost twenty years before coming to the Outschool online platform. As a child, I first developed a strong love of nature and animals through books and hands-on experiences. As a teacher, I'm constantly reading, researching and learning everything I can about wild animal conservation and the natural world.
