Class Experience

This interactive course studies animal builders (beavers, birds, ants, spiders, bees, termites, coral and others) and the structures they make. Each lesson pairs a science-focused exploration of an animal’s adaptations and habitat with a guided, hands-on building activity using everyday materials. The class uses a predictable routine, visual aids, multi-sensory activities, and accommodates diverse learning needs.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify how different animals adapt their homes to environments

  • Explain basic structure and design principles used by animals

  • Develop observation, creativity, and fine motor skills through hands-on projects

  • Explore connections between biology, engineering, and architecture
