The animal kingdom is a big and interesting world. In this FLEX class, students will become immersed in a basic and introductory exploration of zoology. We will begin by learning a little about classification, work on general and specific behaviours and features of animal species, and end with different careers you can pursue if zoology is your passion. 

**Please note: there are NO live lessons for this class. 

We will be following the below schedule:

Week One: Intro to Zoology,...

By the end of this course, students will have been exposed to many elements including:
1) What Zoology is 
2) Vertebrates vs. Invertebrates and different groups within both
3) Different types of adaptations animals use 
4) How species interact with other species in an ecosystem
5) Ecosystems, food chains, food webs etc.
6) What careers are available for learners with a passion for animals
 
In addition, if the tasks are completed, they will be able to practice their writing, organization, and research skills.

I have a Bachelor of Science with a major in Zoology and have worked in the animal field for almost 10 years. I have a strong passion for animals and believe I can make this topic fun and exciting for students who are just as passionate and interested!

Homework assignments, additional fun activities, tasks, and supplemental videos will be posted each week. Online discussions will be prompted and students are responsible for joining in the discussion each week. In addition, an optional summative quiz will be available for students to attempt at the end of class. 

There will also be optional fun quizzes to do weekly through Kahoot!

Assignment, tasks, videos, and supplemental activities will all be posted in the classroom each week.
