The Frozen Planet
This course looks at both the Arctic and Antarctic and considers both plants and animals, as well as how the regions are defined. It was interesting to build on what I'd already learnt about mammals in the regions and more generally about the two polar regions.
Aquatic Mammals
Similarly this course was looking specifically on mammals which have left the land and returned to the sea, and the challenges they've had to overcome in the process. It looked at seals, manatee and dugongs and onto whales, and their differences.
Getting Started with Spanish 3
The last of three basic Spanish courses, which I'd begun last month.
In the Night Sky: Orion
I enjoyed the first week in particular, looking at where Orion can be found in the night sky, and, on one of the few clear bright nights finding Orion for myself. Later weeks moved onto stars and galaxies more generally.
Succeed with Maths: Part 1
Revision of things I already knew, but interesting to take a different (and more practical) look on the subject. And, importantly, I earned a badge!
Animals at the Extremes - the Desert Environment
By contrast, this is definitely challenging. The first course on animals in the next level, which requires quite a lot of knowledge. There's two more, which I shall be working my way through, but only taking in a proportion of the information.
