This course covers advanced subject matter at a faster pace than my other zoology class meant for younger learners (found here https://outschool.com/classes/zoology-full-curriculum-semester-of-animal-science-XZPwHhUt) covering many awesome topics in just twelve weeks! Students receive supplemental information in the classroom, prompts for conducting their own investigation, and engage in classroom discussion/chat. My teaching style is very interactive. I encourage students to think for...

Week 1Lesson 1Biomes and adaptationsThree types of adaptations, what drives adaptations, ecosystems vs biomes, coniferous vs deciduous, and soil variationWeek 2Lesson 2Extreme environmental adaptationsHydrothermal vent food web & symbiosis, extremophiles including tardigrades, chemoautotrophs, and bacteria in spaceWeek 3Lesson 3Classifying Kingdom AnimaliaDomains, kingdoms, animal phyla, characteristics, and binomial nomenclatureWeek 4Lesson 4Dichotomous keys and cladogramsStudents will classify lizard models using a dichotomous key, and use a cladogram to answer questions about species shared characteristicsWeek 5Lesson 5Embryology and homologiesHomologous structures, vestigial structures in animals and humansWeek 6Lesson 6Analogous structuresAnalogous structures, environmental pressures, convergent evolutionWeek 7Lesson 7Speciation and reproductive isolationFactors that drive speciation, species vs subspecies, allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, and sympatric speciation; disruptive, stabilizing, and directional selection.Week 8Lesson 8Parthenogenesis and geneticsPunnett square, genotype, phenotype, alleles, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, codominance & incomplete dominance, apomixis, genomic imprinting, epigeneticsWeek 9Lesson 9Life History Strategiesr-selected & k-selected life history strategies, types of survivorship curves, dependent & independent limiting factors, and carrying capacityWeek 10Lesson 10Animal behavior and intelligenceInnate vs learned behaviors, measures of intelligence, altruism, and reciprocal altruismWeek 11Lesson 11Keystone species and recently extinct speciesFactors that lead to endangered status and extinction, the role of humans in conservation and repopulation, and recent examplesWeek 12Lesson 12Human impact and loss of biodiversityHuman impact on ecosystems and habitats, succession, causes of deforestation, biodiversity as an indicator of healthy ecosystems, current extinction statistics
- Students will gain an understanding of fundamental zoology concepts and learn to apply knowledge to determine inheritance, classify organisms, graph life history strategies, and more.
My teaching experience in the life sciences includes ecology, and biology. Before I became a teacher I worked with wildlife, in a microbiology lab, and also in animal welfare. I have always been called to work with children and have volunteered at girl scout camps, zoo camps and children's hospitals. As a teacher on Outschool I am committed to bringing visual and tangible content to the classroom. I believe teaching is more than just a lecture. My students learn best by seeing examples of concepts, and by breaking new content down into manageable pieces. I am always available for questions and support!

Homework
頻度: Available upon requestフィードバック: Available upon request詳細: Students seeking to maximize their takeaway from this class should plan to bring a notebook or journal to class every week and should compile information learned in it through the duration of the course. This can be adapted to student needs and interests by including writing, sketches, printed materials, etc.Assessment
頻度: Available upon request詳細: I am happy to provide a summarized assessment of student progress upon request, however no letter grades or mandatory assignments exist in this course. Parents can assess understanding of class concepts through their child's completion of hands-on class projects. Students are asked to maintain a journal for which they will be given guidance and suggestions for (optional) independent work. We also have one collaborative class project (shared Canva slides).
このクラスでは、Outschool内のクラスルームに加えて、以下を使用します。
Students will access articles from Smithsonian Magazine, images and information from Wikipedia, and data from government webpages such as NASA. Canva may be used for whiteboards and collaboration. See materials section for links.
