​Animal Science II:  It's raining cats and dogs!
​

​Course Overview: 
Students in this class want to expand their knowledge of animals from Animal Science I.  This class specializes in careers, nutrition, breeding, and care of pocket pets, reptiles, amphibians, dogs, and cats.  This class is set up like a business where students will create an entrepreneurship with their classmates.  Projects included in the entrepreneurship include a weekly Breed ID (225 animals), at least one field trip, multiple career-related guest speakers, a 30-hour out-of-class SAE, and a model to look like their "ideal" entrepreneurship. 

​

Animal Shout-out!

Meet Nut,  was born April 5, 2016.  It has taken some time, but Nut has become a loveable little fella.  He'll make cute noises for food and when he gets his back scratched.

Animal Science II Course Announcements: 

Breed ID:
Each week students will investigate small animal breeds.  They will learn the common and scientific name, and identify characteristics of each breed.  Every third Monday they are tested on small animal breeds.  Each of the quizzes will be cumulative.  Students are allowed to use their breed ID notes on all but the last quiz.

Portfolios:
A compilation of each unit's work.

Field Trips: 
Each semester we will take at least one field trip.  In addition, you will need to have their field trip form filled out by your parents and teachers in order to attend.  Field trip forms are due Tuesday, 1/29.
