Zoología de Minecraft: ¡Supertortugas marinas! (13 a 18 años)

>>>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. We will not actually be playing Minecraft together live in class. While individual students may choose to be on their games while attending class, this is NOT part of the class itself. Students are however encouraged to share in-game experiences on the classroom board (screenshots of encounters, builds, etc.)!.<<<

In this installment of Minecraft Zoology, we will be looking at the only non-avian reptiles currently found in the game -- turtles! After meeting the cute cubey Minecraft versions of these critters, we will learn about their real-life counterparts, the world's seven species of sea turtles.

This single session will consist primarily of slides and multimedia content accompanied by lecture, but there will be opportunities to ask questions as time permits, and the classroom board can also be utilized before and after class to engage in discussion about the topic. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your understanding and study of both the species and concepts introduced in class!

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.)
