動物の不思議な睡眠の科学 - パート 1 (7 ～ 9 歳)

What does sleep mean? It is just when animals lie down and close their eyes? In this one-time class, students will discover all the unusual ways animals have adapted to be able to sleep. We will cover a variety of animals; birds, mammals, reptiles, and view the ways they sleep in order to live. Did you know that the way an animal's body is shaped changes it's sleep? Even an animal's diet can determine how they sleep!

The class will begin with a discussion on what students believe sleep is and why animals needs it. We will then discuss the very strange ways that nine different animals sleep and how different their sleep is from ours. Class discussion will be maintained throughout the class with each animal featured. Students will interact with both the teacher and the class and via slides presenting each animal. Class will end with a picture quiz over the animals we talked about during class.

There is no previous experience of knowledge required of students.

Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time. 

There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.
