In this class, we will explore the world of arachnids, from tarantulas to scorpions. We will create hypotheses, discuss those, and then test them. We will foster our love of learning in this exciting class based on the practices of a field scientist. This is an observation style class where we learn about a new specimen and observe it either in its natural habitat or in an enclosure. Students have the opportunity to discuss observations at their level of participation comfort. Non-verbal students or those with learning challenges that make reading and writing difficult or have not yet reached that level of independence will also enjoy my classes through visual stimulation and exciting information presented verbally. Students will have an opportunity to interact regarding the video presentations of the specimens and share their thoughts.
