Welcome to our captivating Zoology course, a dynamic exploration of the fundamental principles of zoology with a focus on the high school level curriculum. This hands-on and discussion-based journey is crafted to enable learners to complete a full year of high school zoology, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Throughout the course, students will actively participate in live lessons, sharing ideas and posing questions to enhance their learning experience. Engage in up to eight hands-on project activities, where theoretical knowledge meets practical application. Complementing the interactive sessions are useful and demonstrative videos, helpful practice problems, and live demonstration scientist videos, providing a well-rounded and immersive learning environment.

In our ongoing course, "Zoology: Exploring Land and Ocean Animals," students will delve into the fascinating world of Earth's most diverse vertebrates. Explore the intricate interactions among species, discover captivating invertebrates, unravel the secrets of animal adaptations, and delve into the behavior of various species. Additionally, explore the critical role of marine and terrestrial conservation in protecting our oceans and planet. Get ready to find answers to these questions and many more in "Zoology: Exploring Land and Ocean Animals."

Each stand-alone session in this course focuses on a different and interesting topic within biology, allowing learners the flexibility to choose specific classes based on their interests or attend them all for a comprehensive exploration.

Participation in discussions is optional, but our classes offer a unique opportunity for students to ask or answer questions, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Utilize the chat for interactive discussions and embrace the opportunity to follow your curiosity in a class designed to encourage student engagement. There are no prerequisites for this course, and students are encouraged to express themselves using pencils, markers, crayons, and color pencils on a blank piece of paper or journal. Get ready for an enriching journey into the world of zoology!

Particularly, students will delve into broad aspects of Zoology.
