This is a one hour introductory course on axolotls. I will teach what an axolotl is, and what makes it unique. Students will learn the history and biology of axolotls, as well as how to care for one at home. 

Topics covered:
-The geographical region axolotls are from, the culture around them (their name, their role in the community, etc), and their current status in the wild
-How axolotls became available in the United States, and their rise in popularity as pets
-What an axolotl needs to survive and thrive both in the wild and in a home aquarium

This class will be a combination of lecture with slides, live observation of animals, and student discussion. There will be a foundational basis of information to be presented, but each class will expand on the areas students are most interested in, have the most questions about and can learn the most! No previous knowledge is necessary, and no matter how much your learner does or doesn't know about axolotls, there will be something new in this course for every learner, whether you have never heard of axolotls, or you already have one at home.
