動物奇怪睡眠的科學 - 第 2 部分（7-9 歲）

What does sleep mean? It is just when animals lie down and close their eyes? In this one-time class for ages 7-9 that is the second part to The Science of Strange Sleep in Animals-Part 1 (Ages 7-9), students will discover all the unusual ways animals have adapted to be able to sleep. We will cover a variety of animals; birds, mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates and view the ways they sleep in order to live. Did you know that the way an animal's body is shaped changes its sleep? Even an animal's diet can determine how they sleep!

The class will begin with a discussion on what students believe sleep is and why animals needs it. We will then discuss the very strange ways that different animals sleep and how different their sleep is from ours. Class discussion will be maintained throughout the class with each animal featured. Students will interact with both the teacher and the class and via slides presenting each animal. Class will end with a picture quiz over the animals we talked about during class.

There is no previous experience of knowledge required of students, though students who have taken The Science of Strange Sleep in Animals-Part 1 (Ages 7-9) will get to apply their knowledge of sleep in different animals to the animals we discuss in this class. Part 1 and 2 can be taken in any order.

Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time. 

There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.
