유독 무척추동물 시리즈(FLEX)

Please Note: This FLEX course is a combination of my three Venomous Invertebrate LIVE classes. If you have already taken the live classes, you will likely find this course repetitive in information.

----

In the animal kingdom, there are many defensive adaptations and abilities that creatures can use to protect themselves from predators. In this class, we will be focusing on six creatures that lack backbones but have a unique surprise for animals that choose to threaten them. 

**Please note: there are NO live lessons for this class. 

The schedule for this class includes the following topics:

Week One: ‘Poison vs. Venom’ and ‘What are Invertebrates?’
Week Two: Octopuses and Cone Snails
Week Three: Scorpions and Jellyfish
Week Four: Bees and Spiders

We will be working both independently and in a group setting. This is the best part about FLEX classes! Each Sunday afternoon (EST time), a pre-recorded video (touching on the basics of the scheduled topics) will be posted for students to watch. In addition, supplemental videos, optional homework assignments, tasks, fun activities, and discussion questions will be posted. Students are encouraged to complete the assignments and tasks to get the most out of the course.

**Please note that both the pre-recorded videos and the supplementary videos will be via YouTube

Throughout the course, online discussions will be prompted in the Outschool classroom. This will allow students to discuss ideas, concepts, and questions with their peers from around the world. In addition, I will be monitoring the classroom and supplying guidance throughout. I will be encouraging participation in the online discussions as much as possible but it is also a responsibility of the student to try and check in at least once a week.

How is this course interactive?
1) Discussions: Students are encouraged to participate in the discussions to get to know fellow students from around the world! The more active students are in discussions, the more we can build a sense of community.
2) Quizzes: Students will have the option of completing fun quizzes via an external website (Kahoot) each week. No registration or account necessary!
3) Fun Activities: There will be fun activities each week where students can complete and post their results in the classroom. Sharing with each other will be a great way for students to interact and see creativity within the class.
4) Supplementary Videos: I will be posting supplementary videos in the class to coincide with the pre-recorded video. This will allow students to have more visual understanding of concepts discussed.

My goal is to make learning fun, exciting, and efficient. As such, you can expect responses to emails or inquiries within 24 hours (though usually much quicker). 

If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out!
