ポケモンの動物学: 棘皮動物学! ポケモンと私たちの世界の棘皮動物 (13-18)

>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING:
1. The live portion of this class is an hour-long, fast-paced, lecture-based presentation, with limited Q&A breaks as time permits -- you know your learner(s) best, so please consider if the session length and format is a good fit for them.
2. Yes, I am a scientist and always teach from the perspective of evolutionary biology.<<<

In this class, we will meet all known echinoderm-like Pokémon from Gen 1 through Gen 8, and match them up to their real-life inspirations. The Echinodermata phylum consists of over 7000 living species and includes sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea lilies, and sand dollars!

The live session will consist of narrated slides with multimedia content, with opportunities to ask questions as time permits; meanwhile, the classroom board can be utilized before and after class to engage in open discussion about both Pokémon and echinoderms. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your exploration of mollusk friends both in the Pokémon world and the real world!

Also, just FYI: I like using my Cool Science Words and exposing children of all ages to proper scientific terminology and nomenclature. I believe it's never too early for children to hear us using our "grownup" vocabulary. (That being said, of course I define these words when they first come up, and will provide supplementary vocabulary sheets in classes with a lot of subject-specific terminology.)
