>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING:
1. The live portion of this class is an hour-long, fast-paced, lecture-and-multimedia-slide presentation, with Q&A breaks as time permits -- you know your learner(s) best, so please consider if the session length and format is a good fit for them. 
2. We will not actually be playing Minecraft together live in class. While individual students may choose to be on their games while attending class, this is NOT part of the class itself. Students are however encouraged to share in-game experiences on the classroom board before and after the live session!<<<

In this installment of Minecraft Zoology, we will be checking out the NEW badger mob of Minecraft Legends. After meeting the cute cubey versions of these critters and reviewing their in-game stats and features, we will learn about their real-life inspiration, the European Badger (Meles meles), as well as learn a bit about how they are related to other animals commonly called "badgers" (spoiler alert: despite appearances, the American Badger, Taxidea taxus, is a rather distant cousin). 

This single session will consist primarily of slides and multimedia content (including YouTube video clips) accompanied by lecture, but there will be opportunities to ask questions as time permits, and the classroom board can also be utilized before and after class to engage in discussion about the topic. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your understanding and study of both the species and concepts introduced in class!

Also, just FYI: I like using my Cool Science Words and exposing children of all ages to proper scientific terminology and nomenclature. I believe it's never too early for children to hear us using our "grownup" vocabulary. (That being said, of course I define these words when they first come up, and will provide supplementary vocabulary sheets in classes with a lot of subject-specific terminology.)
