Students will learn a comprehensive zoology curriculum in this twelve week, full semester course. My lessons are full of discussion, visual examples, and include short games and challenges. This class is far more than just a lecture. Students receive hands-on learning opportunities including learning how to monitor animal populations and model structural adaptations.
 
Supplemental activities and information may be posted to the class page following the lesson to help students further investigate the topic of the week. I provide many tactile learning activities to reinforce vocabulary and understanding (matching, sorting, cut & paste, and other activities). 

Activities and additional information added to the classroom outside of class hours are completely optional but will help students build a well-rounded full-curriculum experience with this class. I look forward to working with your family!

The schedule for weekly lessons is as follows:
week 1: biotic vs. abiotic and characteristics of life
week 2: organization of living things
week 3: food chains and food webs
week 4: symbiotic relationships
week 5: batesian mimicry, aposematic coloration, and cryptic coloration
week 6: physiological adaptations
week 7: structural adaptations
week 8: behavioral adaptations
week 9: animal intelligence
week 10: speciation
week 11: life history strategies
week 12: recently extinct species


If you feel your child would do better in a small group setting using a workbook to follow along, my small group zoology class covers a different animal each week and utilizes a Thinking Tree funschooling journal which provides fabulous structure for children with alternative learning needs.
