CEP 65 Animal Science

The focus of this course will be on learning about all the ways animals are involved in our life: as pets, as food, as careers and in the wild. Students will learn about the joys and responsibilities of being a pet owner of many different types of pets. Animal food products and the treatment of domesticated animals will be explored. Animal-related career fields will be examined and students will meet people in the field that hold many of these jobs. Students will complete a research project of an animal of their choice. The class will take many field trips to see animals in various settings, such as pet stores, environmental centers and farms.
