Students will increase their knowledge of zoology by using the above animals as case studies. Students will be able to name and describe these animals and their unique characteristics. Students will apply the concept of adaptation to consider how these characteristics help animals survive. As a side effect, students may become highly enthusiastic about learning science!

I have my BS in Biology (focus on wildlife ecology) and a Master's degree in Science Education. Before teaching, I worked directly with animals in sanctuaries, aquariums, and science museums. I have cared for and educated the public on a variety of animals from monkeys to exotic butterflies to anemones to poisonous frogs to baby seahorses.
