Class Description

Welcome to The Launch Zoo! Follow in the footsteps of a zookeeper as we visit extraordinary animals and discover the science behind what makes them special. By simulating a stroll through the grounds at the fictitious Launch Zoo, students tour exhibits ranging from butterflies to bears. It’s feeding time! Let’s head over to the Savanna exhibit and learn about the carnivorous lion, herbivorous giraffe, and omnivorous ostrich. Wondering about locomotion!? Let’s investigate how snakes slither, lemurs leap, and falcons fly. Questions about camouflage!? Let’s create a take-home model of a color-changing chameleon! Each session we examine animals that reveal unique and extreme adaptations. Kids begin to understand how the environment can shape a species’ appearance and diet, all while raising awareness of the importance of conservation efforts worldwide.

Additional Topics Include: Classifying Animals, Habitats, Predator vs. Prey, Echolocation, Life Cycle, Metamorphosis, Nocturnal vs. Diurnal, Night Vision

Instructor's reviews

My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.

Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.

I founded Launch with one mission in mind: Inspire children to love and learn math and science!

Over the course of my career, I enjoyed using math in the real world. Whether building NASA rockets and satellites as an aerospace engineer or building businesses as a Chief Financial Officer, mathematics and science were always the foundation for my achievements. In an effort to share my enthusiasm for math and science, I worked for the largest tutoring company in New York City that provided services under the No Child Left Behind Act and as a professor at a local college in Manhattan.
