Students will be learning about the evolution/taxonomy of the Squamates The topics covered will be as follows: 1. Shared features of squamates 2. Basal squamates in the fossil record 3. The initial branching lines of the squamates. 4. The evolution of Scincomorpha (this will take several classes, but students can drop in for a particular branch). 5. The evolution of Toxicofera (this is the family that includes snakes, iguanas, monitor lizards and mosasaurs) 6. The evolution of Scleroglossa (the family line where geckos are from) 7. The evolution of Lacertoidea (where Tegus are found) 8. The evolution of Dibamidae (blind skinks) My class will be structured along the evolution and timeline of this family. For example, as basal members first show in the Early Jurassic, they will be first, and blind skinks will be the last topic since they first appear in the Oligocene before the class resets, allowing older students to have learned everything and newer students to catch up on subjects missed. I will teach using a mixture of slides, video clips, discussion and lecture. My teaching style can be be described as interactive Primarily learners will get to interact with me through lectures and discussion. As an example. Week of May 30th: Basal Squamates Week of June 6th: Xantusiomorphs Week of June 13th: Paramacellodicordylidans Week of June 20th: Cordyliformes Week of June 27th: Basal Skinks Week of July 4th: Limbless skinks Week of July 11th: Social skinks
