Creating resources is a family affair at my house. My husband is a biology teacher and has been creating his own resources for a while now. For the past 7 years, he has been the lone biology teache…
What is this organism? What characteristics does it have? To what other organisms is it related? Is it a vertebrate or an invertebrate? What does it eat? What role does it play in the ecosystem? All biology teachers have particular topics that they really don't like to teach, and topics that we LOVE LOVE to teach. Teaching classification is a topic that I LOVE! Classification and taxonomy involves problem solving and critical thinking. Basically a taxonomist is a "living organism detective". I have two really fun activities that my students always enjoy. The first is called "Let's Learn to Use and Build a Dichotomous Key". This product teaches students all about dichotomous classification keys. Students will learn why classification is necessary, the definition of a dichotomous key, and how to use a dichotomous key. Students will analyze the included pictures of 7 different cone-bearing plants, and use a dichotomous key to classify them. Finally students will learn to construct a classification key of their own. Students are given pictures of 12 different primates and asked to make their own classification key. The beauty of this part of the activity is that there is no right or wrong way to construct the classification key. Students study the 12 pictures and decide which characteristics to include in their key. I am always amazed at the innovative and creative classification keys that my students come up with. There are also 10 follow up questions for students to answer. The second activity that I love to do with my students is called "Let's Build A Cladogram". Cladistics is one of the newest trends in the modern classification of organisms. It shows the relationship between different organisms based on the presence or absence of characteristics called derived characters. In this activity, students will look at pictures of 7 different animals to determine if they possess certain derived characters. This data will then be used to build a cladogram. There are just so many fun things to do when teaching classification. I always have to make myself wrap up the unit and move on to a new topic! Have fun teaching!
This packet is great for explaining the basics of creating and interpreting genetic pedigrees in high school biology. There are several practice pedigree questions and it covers pedigrees for traits that have simple autosomal dominance and recessive relationships. Honors or Advanced students may even be able to complete this independently as a sub plan in a 45-60 minute period! Mine can! With lower level classes, a teacher will need to lead them through the steps. The first 5 pages are full of explanations, step-by-step directions, and practice questions. I left the 6th page intentionally blank to allow room for student work, notes, or Punnett squares scratch work. Pages 7-8 have a homework that would be great to assess student learning after the class. Page 8 has a question asking for a thoughtful written sample. Pages 9-14 have a full answer key!

By the 1800s, people generally understood that offspring inherited traits from their parents. Initially, however, it was thought that the traits of both
Cells- they are the basic unit of function and structure of life and tie EVERYTHING into biology. As we delve into genetics, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, these are all processes that occur inside the cell. Evolution

These ideas of fun ways to teach mitosis are fun for both students and teachers. This list includes some classic ideas and few new modern approaches.
This one takes a little prep work the first time 'round. But after that, you're set forever. It's a great way to include a little kinesthetic activity into the study of DNA. First, the prep work: On a long strip of paper* write out a string of DNA bases (actually, you're making the mRNA). You want to make sure your letters are evenly spaced - I actually marked the paper. Keep a codon chart handy - make sure you begin with a start codon and don't come to a stop codon immediately. And, don't make the mistake of using T instead of U, as someone did... Now you need to make a ribosome through which your strip of paper can fit. I made mine out of fun foam. It has magnets on the back, so it sticks to the white board. Cut the window in the ribosome, so that you can see 3 bases at a time (hence the reason for evenly spacing your letters). Use this picture to guide you: Now you need to make the amino acids. Once again I used fun foam. I wrote the amino acid on the foam, punched holes in it and strung string through the holes so the students could wear them. For the activity: Draw a huge circle on the board - a cell. Sketch in a nucleus and stick your ribosome in the middle as well. Show your students the mRNA (your paper strip) moving from the nucleus to the ribosome. Feed the mRNA into the ribosome. Have your students translate the first 3 mRNA bases into an amino acid. Have a student put the appropriate amino acid placard on and stand in front of the room. Move the mRNA to the next three bases. Determine the amino acid. Have another student put on the appropriate placard, then stand next to the first student and hold his/her hand. Proceed this way until you come to a stop codon, or until you've made your point. Your students will have a better feel for how a ribosome translates mRNA, how proteins are formed, and understand that proteins are long chains of amino acids. * I got a few sentence strips from an elementary teacher in my building - they're the perfect size and shape for this, I didn't have to cut them, and they have lines marked on them! ****** I learned this from a fellow teacher at a NJ Science Teachers Association Convention several years ago. I don't know who that teacher is - but if you're out there, please let me know - I'd like to give you credit.

Are you looking to decorate your classroom with fun, hand-drawn anchor charts/posters? Do you find it difficult to find the time to create, draw, outline and color? Don't fret. Give me the markers. Hi, I'm the Chart Lady! I love making engaging, eye catching and educational anchor charts. I also can draw/create any other topic you would like, just contact me directly and ask! My students absolutely love these posters and we use them daily. Many students are visual learners, so the colorful images really help them connect, recall and digest what we have learned. I call this anchor chart: "Producers/Consumers/Decomposers" Students were learning the beginnings of Food Webs, in particular examples of producers, consumers and decomposers. **All non-laminated anchor charts are currently hand drawn and colored on 25x30, anchor chart paper. Once ordered, it will take a 2-3 days to draw, outline, color and ship. If you would like it laminated, it will cost $5.00 more for lamination and the size will shrink by 2-3 inches of width. I ship these out ASAP after being ordered and completed, however, keep in mind that once shipped, it is out of my control. Therefore, if shipping does not meet your expectations, I encourage customers to reach out to me first, and we can work something out to make up for anything that might have occurred that was outside of our control.** Enjoy, The Chart Lady

Students will love to write about their family and draw a pedigree based on one of their own phenotypes! It is a great fully-customizable project for students to design their own pedigrees based only benign family characteristics (or their own choice as ok'd by their teacher). The project description includes several easy-to-observe characteristics that would be fun for a student to discuss with their family at home. Students will be engaged and excited about doing this project! My students loved it and it was their favorite project for the whole year! Importantly, there is a rubric attached that I have tested and used in my own classroom effectively. It is easily changed by adding more or subtracting rows in a word document table. In the description, I purposely do not include a key or expectation for the standard pedigree symbols because I find this varies from teacher to teacher. If your class is at a general level, you could keep it simple, just squares and circles. For my advanced students, I use the ones published in the following paper you can google: "Standardized Human Pedigree Nomenclature: Update and Assessment of the Recommendations of the National Society of Genetic Counselors" J Genet Counsel (2008) 17:424–433 Would you like some other pedigree resources?

Each is designed to roughly cover the material that I would teach in an hour long class period. These are terrific for daily homework assignments because they don’t take too long to complete. These pages have been carefully designed in Illustrator. I have created a unique set of questions to help students to review material taught in class and think deeper about the material. Many of the pages ask students to highlight or color something, to identify items in a diagram, to match related concepts, or interact with a topic in a new way. Many of the pages ask students to connect more than one concept; they are intended to help students see the bigger picture in each unit. A few pages ask students to use the internet to do a little research. If you own any of my other resources, don’t worry about repeat pages. These homework pages are truly unique and separate from my activities. These homework pages will truly complement any activities or resources you already have or use in your class. 5. How do I handle homework? First of all, I don’t grade it. I learned in my early teaching years that when I grade homework, I am rewarding students who copied off of their one studious friend the period before my class, and I am penalizing students who have limited educational time outside of school. I often give time at the end of the period to work on “homework” pages. Often, I start off the next day’s class with the answer key projected onto some sort of screen (ELMO or projector) so that students can check their answers as they walk in. My students know that they will do better in my class if they do the homework and I care about effort more than being correct. 6. What if you want to grade homework? Are answer keys included? Are they easy to grade? Answer keys are included (for almost all of the pages, where it makes sense to have an answer key). I designed these pages to be pretty simple to grade, if you want to do that. 7. Why is each homework page only one page? In my time as a teacher, I have noticed that for some reason, homework assignments that have more than one side of a page are just neglected by students. If I hand out a one sided homework page and tell them, here’s your homework, they say, yay, it’s just 1 page! They will often at least start it if not finish it before the end of the day. I really think there is a psychological barrier to starting an assignment with two sides. Call me crazy, but test it out! Try giving my homework assignments and watch your class actually do their homework! A way to save paper would be to print all of the homework assignments and copy them as a packet. This is great to give students all at once in the beginning of the unit, so they have every page in advance, which works great if they’re absent!

The eternal battle of mitosis vs. meiosis comprehension becomes a whole lot easier. In this Mitosis vs. Meiosis animation, the individual stages of mitosis and meiosis are presented together so students can see the subtle differences between each. This is NOT a typical PowerPoint with main idea bullets. This presentation is fully animated so students can visually see the differences and similarities between mitosis and meiosis. Better yet, you can preview the entire PowerPoint on my YouTube channel prior to purchase to make sure it suits your needs.
