The course will examine the comparative anatomy, physiology, and behavior of a wide range of animal groups. The eight sessions will include topics such as locomotion, respiration, circulation, digestion, excretion, and reproduction. This course will examine the physiological processes that enable animals to live within a diverse range of environments. Lectures will focus on the underlying events that mediate physiological processes and contribute to whole animal homeostasis. Homeostasis is...
8 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1ANIMAL GROWTH & DEVELOPMENTStudy of different types of skeletons. Comparison of the advantages & disadvantages of each skeletal type and the relationship to the specific lifestyle/habitat of different organisms. Study of growth and development.Lesson 2LOCOMOTION AND MOVEMENTIntroduction to muscle action & animal biomechanics. Study of specific types of locomotion and the adaptations exhibited by different animals to achieve movement.Week 2Lesson 3RESPIRATORY MECHANISMSDifferent respiratory structures and their efficiency. Comparison of various mechanisms of respiratory exchange (e.g. aquatic vs. terrestrial respiratory mechanisms). Understanding of diffusion and counter-current exchange.Lesson 4CIRCULATORY MECHANISMSPresence or absence of a circulatory system. Functions of circulatory systems. Open vs. closed systems, and single vs. double systems. Comparison of circulatory fluids, cell types, oxygen-carrying capacity.Week 3Lesson 5EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE, SEASONS & CLIMATESUnderstanding of ectotherms and endotherms. Adaptations to temperature change, seasonality & climate. Homeostasis and acclimatization.Lesson 6DIFFERENT METHODS OF FOOD ACQUISITION & DIGESTIONFood or prey location & selection. Herbivores vs. carnivores. Variations in nutrient acquisitionWeek 4Lesson 7OSMOREGULATION and EXCRETIONExamination of different excretory pathways, structures & end products (ammonia; urea; uric acid). Comparison of modes of excretion in relation to lifestyle & habitat. Osmoregulation in different groups.Lesson 8REPRODUCTION MECHANISMSAsexual vs. sexual reproduction. Gamete production, fertilization mechanisms (internal vs. external). Reproductive strategies & mating behavior.
- 1. To understand the general principles of animal classification and describe the characteristics of the major animal phyla. 2. To gain an appreciation for the diversity of animal forms and understand the unity which exists within this diversity. 3. To explore anatomical and physiological principles by studying form and function relationships. 4. To acknowledge how organisms interact with their environments and how environmental conditions. 5. To be able to use the general principles in the field to discuss the current and future issues.

Tareas
Frecuencia: 1-2 durante toda la claseComentario: según sea necesarioDetalles: Learners will have short quizzes, multiple-choice, and crossword puzzles throughout this course. Additionally, throughout the course, they will have discussion questions that they will be required to respond to.Evaluación
Frecuencia: includedDetalles: I consider the following components to evaluate the students in this class. 1) Their attendance and if they attended every class. 2) Did they participate in the class discussion. 3) Have they handed in their assignments and science project. I will write a report to the parent for how the student did in the class and their assignments. This will be a good indication of well they understood the materials.
Learners will not need to use any applications, models, or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools. I will provide PPT or PFD’s of the material in the class. Class components include lecture, discussion, readings from scientific journal articles, and group projects if applicable (e.g. research paper on a topic of current interest).
