Course Introduction

In this self-paced course, embark on an in-depth exploration of the animal kingdom through a comprehensive study of its major groups and biological diversity. This program covers both vertebrates and invertebrates—including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, annelids, mollusks, and arthropods—focusing on their anatomy, behavior, ecological roles, and evolutionary adaptations. You'll examine how animals interact with their environments, the specialized traits that support survival, and the broader ecological systems they sustain. Designed to build a strong foundation in zoology, this course combines scientific theory with real-world examples to develop your observational, analytical, and critical thinking skills.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course you’ll be able to:

  • Understand the basic principles and concepts of zoology.

  • Identify and describe major groups of animals and their characteristics.

  • Learn about the different habitats where animals live.

  • Explore the behaviors and adaptations of various animal species.

  • Discuss the importance of biodiversity and conservation.

  • Develop observation and analytical skills related to animal studies.

  • Gain practical knowledge about animal classification and taxonomy.

  • Apply zoological knowledge to real-world conservation challenges.

Course Curriculum

This curriculum is meticulously designed to offer an in-depth exploration of the animal kingdom, examining the anatomical, behavioral, and ecological characteristics of major animal groups. Through twelve comprehensive modules, you will explore a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate species—including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, annelids, mollusks, arthropods, and ascidians. Each module offers a focused investigation into the biology and evolutionary significance of these groups, emphasizing their roles within ecosystems and the adaptive strategies that support their survival. By the end of the course, you will have developed a solid foundation in zoological science, with the analytical and observational skills necessary for further academic study or professional development in fields such as wildlife biology, ecology, or conservation science.

Marta Fabregas

Marine Biology, Ecology and Zoology Educator

Marta Fabregas is a dedicated marine biologist, educator, and founder of Noa Adventures and Academy, who teaches most of the programs at NOA Academy.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a knowledgeable and inspiring educator. Ms. Marta's class has sparked a lasting interest in marine biology for my child, and we highly recommend Nature and Oceans Academy programs to any young aspiring scientists and environmentalists.

This is a fantastic class that my 16-year-old thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Marta's passion for the subject is truly inspiring, and her vast knowledge seems endless. My daughter learned an incredible amount in such a short period, always eager to share new and fascinating information with the family after each lesson.

Before this class, she never looked forward to homework, but Marta's engaging teaching style changed that. She was genuinely excited to complete her assignments and often couldn't wait to dive into the next lesson. The impact of Marta’s teaching was so profound that my daughter immediately asked to be signed up for the second program as soon as this one ended. She was sad to see this class come to a close but is eagerly looking forward to continuing her learning journey with Marta.
