I, Animal

Humans resemble other animal species to a much greater extent than we might think. At the same time, our species has undergone unimagined evolutionary development, which sets us apart in numerous aspects.

As the European Researchers’ Night traditionally takes place on the last Friday of September, primary and secondary schools will be able to access an online e-classroom with I, Animal content on the ARNES Učilnice portal on 29 September 2023.

 

Students will be able to familiarise themselves with certain anatomic and physiological characteristics of humans and their distant and not-so-distant relatives. They will answer questions such as: Do frogs have livers? Which is the main sense used by whales? Were Australopithecus better at climbing or walking on two legs? Do all tall animals have blood? And many many others.

 

They will be able to test their knowledge of different animals and their internal structures, as well as to learn about some interesting facts from the animal kingdom.

 

The access to the online e-classroom with I, Animal content at https://www.arnes.si/jaz-zival-e-delavnica-na-evropsko-noc-raziskovalcev/ remains open, so students and educators can engage and benefit from them.
