>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING: 1. The live portion of this class is an hour-long, fast-paced, lecture-based presentation, with limited Q&A breaks as time permits -- you know your learner(s) best, so please consider if the session length and format is a good fit for them. 2. Yes, I am a scientist and always teach from the perspective of evolutionary biology.<<< In this class, we will meet all known owl-like Pokémon from Gen 1 through Gen 8, and match them up to their real-life inspirations in the avian order Strigiformes (Owls). The live session will consist of narrated slides with multimedia content, with opportunities to ask questions as time permits; meanwhile, the classroom board can be utilized before and after class to engage in open discussion about both Pokémon and owls. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your exploration of owl friends both in the Pokémon world and the real world! Also, just FYI: I like using my Cool Science Words and exposing children of all ages to proper scientific terminology and nomenclature. I believe it's never too early for children to hear us using our "grownup" vocabulary. (That being said, of course I define these words when they first come up, and will provide supplementary vocabulary sheets in classes with a lot of subject-specific terminology.) Obligatory disclaimer to stay on the right side of brand and asset usage: NOT AN OFFICIAL NINTENDO PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH NINTENDO. CLASS CONTENT PROVIDED UNDER EDUCATIONAL FAIR USE PRINCIPLES ONLY. :)
Learning Goals
owl-like Pokémon survey; basic zoology of the order Strigiformes (Owls)
Other Details
Parental Guidance
All my zoology classes are open to discussing animal anatomy, including the reproductive system, and natural behaviors and bodily functions, including predation and mating.
Online resources: The class slides link to information on both Bulbapedia and Wikipedia, and after-class resources include links to optional curated video content on YouTube and Pokémon TV. Learners with specific questions may also be directed to additional information on the official Pokémon page and/or relevant pre-screened science-related pages (e.g., a research journal or zoological database). No online account signups are required.
Supply List
Any supplementary lesson materials will be provided for free via the classroom, either as downloadable printables/files or links to online resources (web pages, videos, articles, etc.).

I am a zoologist who enjoys sharing my love of the animal kingdom with lifelong learners of all ages. I've also been playing video games since the first gen of everything, not just Pokémon ;)
I also have nearly two decades experience as a home education advocate, including homeschooling my own children from preschool through high school. I am a big proponent of flexible learning, individualized education, and supporting fellow neurodiverse learners, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with requests for accommodations or additional resources. We all learn in our own way and time, but everyone should have the chance to learn about how cool animals are! 😎
