In this 4-week flexible schedule course, students will dive into the world of marine mammals. Students will learn all about whales, dolphins, walruses, manatees, seals, and more! Each week will focus on a particular category of marine mammals. The interactive video lessons will integrate vocabulary relating to marine mammals and their habitat. I will be utilizing Edpuzzle to make each video interactive with questions popping up through the video. The presentation is full of information and clear and interesting pictures. There will be postings during the week with discussions and activities that the students can respond to throughout the week.
