ABQ Secular Homeschool Collaborative
WILDLIFE SCIENCE
with HILLARY SHUERT
AGES 7+
The Wildlife Sciences class will consist of ecology, biology, botany, and even some outdoor skills! We will learn about different habitats, a variety of animals and how to identify them, the importance of habitat maintenance, plant identification and use, and the impact humans have on the natural world around us. Class time will usually consist of a short 10-15 minute lecture, followed by a hands-on activity. We may take short nature walks on occasion and some class field trips may be offered during breaks.
Skills required:
Students should be able to listen and be engaged during short lectures, follow directions, color, use scissors, and work cooperatively together when needed. Short walks may take place so students should be comfortable with that task physically. Older students may be asked to assist younger classmates in more difficult tasks.
Homework:
Occasionally there will be a video on the bulletin board for students to review prior to class.
Lecture time:
10 - 15 minutes
