Students learn about the survival needs of invertebrates and explore how they find those resources in different habitats. Through engagement with tactile materials, visual imagery, sound, and movement, this class creates a learning environment that will be fun and effective for learners with multiple learning styles. This class will be preceded by an in-depth conversation with the group teacher or leader before the class day to determine how to best adapt the class for their students. (This class is designed to be accessible for people with a variety of disabilities. It is also appropriate for groups who crave movement and sensory input. The class can be adapted to the unique needs of the group through selection of modules. Program length: 20-45 minutes and has a capacity of 15 students.)
