Alex the puppet will teach students about Axolotls in nature, as pets, and their use in the medical field. Alex uses discussion, question and answer socratic teaching, as well as engaging slide shows and sometimes video clips to demonstrate the information she is sharing. Students will have an opportunity to meet not only Alex and her friends, but also a real live axolotl pet and ask questions about their care. Beginners are welcome and no prior knowledge of axolotls are necessary, but some complex biological topics will be discussed at an age appropriate level. (See Learning goals for a complete list of topics to be covered)
Metas de aprendizaje
Week 1 : Axolotl Introduction: How do you say "axolotl"? Where does the word come from? Where do axolotls come from? What is happening to their habitat? Why is it important? What is habitat destruction and how does it impact all wildlife? What is an invasive species?

Orientación para padres
We will discuss axolotl reproduction and how to tell boy axolotls from girls, so some mention of genitalia is involved, using purely biological terminology which is age appropriate but accurate.
