About This Activity
Zoology is a course focusing on animal development, evolution, classification, and identification as well as comparative anatomy and unique adaptations. This course requires a strong background in biology and a willingness to learn. Zoology will build on and enhance your knowledge of all animal life forms from single-celled organisms to complex mammals such as humans. Students in this course will be able to observe live animals and dissection demos and will be expected to create an Animal Atlas including information about each of the major animal phyla. This class would pair well with Comparative Anatomy.

My teaching style incorporates student guided inquiry based learning, Socratic instruction, and adaptive lessons. In addition to my work in public schools I have worked as a private tutor for pre-med, pre-law and business school test prep company, The Princeton Review, as well as working as their Assistant Director for several years.
