每週 1 小時. Each week will include age appropriate student options for completing work for teacher and parent review via choice board. The choice board will offer options such as artistic, literary, auditory, visual or kinetic activities as opportunities for learners to demonstrate their understanding of the topics. Simple models will also be assigned for use for the Axolotls in Medicine lesson. Learner submissions and questions will be answered within 24-48 hours, and follow up questions may direct students to further learning exploration.評估
Complete feedback will be provided for work completed, including an informal written report at the end of the class. Learner questions will be answered after each video on the class board here on Outschool.我們無法翻譯此文,請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Alex the puppet will teach students about axolotls in nature, as pets, and their use in the medical field. Alex uses discussion prompt questions, socratic teaching, as well as engaging slide shows and sometimes video clips to demonstrate the information she is sharing. Each class will include many visual elements to engage learners. Students will have an opportunity to meet not only Alex and her friends, but also a real live axolotl pet and ask questions about their care. Beginners are welcome and no prior knowledge of axolotls are necessary, but some complex biological topics will be discussed at an age appropriate level. (See "Learning goals" below for a complete list of topics to be covered) After each lesson, students will be required to submit 3 questions to the instructor to be answered on the class board, along with their project for the week (see "Homework" section below for details on how choice boards will be used in the class).
學習目標
Week 1 : Axolotl Introduction: How do you say "axolotl"? Where does the word come from? Where do axolotls come from? What is happening to their habitat? Why is it important? What is habitat destruction and how does it impact all wildlife? What is an invasive species?
Week 2: Axolotl Life Cycle: How do axolotls reproduce? If they reproduce so much, why are they extinct? Why do they keep their gills when other salamanders don't? What are the floofs? Can they live outside of the water? What do baby axolotls look like?
Week 3: Axolotls in Medicine: Did you know Alex is a Doctor? Dr. Alex will discuss her role in helping medical researchers understand the process of regeneration. We will talk about genetic modification and why some axolotls have a special jellyfish DNA that allows them to glow!
Week 4: Axolotls as Pets: Can you keep an axolotl at home? Some of the safe ways to purchase and care for an axolotl and keep a pet happy, and basic care requirements for an healthy axie pet!

We will discuss axolotl reproduction and how to tell boy axolotls from girls, so some mention of genitalia is involved, using purely biological terminology which is age appropriate but accurate. Young axolotls are also cannibalistic and that will be discussed in biological terms.

I am a retired marine biologist and axolotl mom. I have kept axolotls for years, bred them as well as worked with their genetics in conjunction with Carolina Axolotls. I also worked in medical research and have experience in veterinary pathology and histotechnology. I currently teach aquatic science, biology and chemistry at the high school level.
