Hillary Greig (TpT Seller) re: CELLS Visual Vocabulary Cards - Cell Organelles
Good morning,
I really like your cells visual vocabulary cards. I notice you have more visual vocabulary cards for sale, along with other resources, under your other science units. Would you consider creating an item that simply includes only your science visual vocabulary cards? That is all I am really looking for and LOVE yours, but can't afford to purchase all units separately when all I am after is the vocabulary cards. Please let me know if this is something you would consider doing. Thank you!

Hillary,
Thank you so much for your comments. I love putting visuals with definitions - I think it helps the students make connections and remember the meaning of each word.
As far as your request, I had planned to do that. :) I just wanted to wait until I had developed all of my science units so the collection would be complete.
I am spending the summer putting a few more units together, and then I had planned to bundle all of the vocabulary cards together. Target date for completion: middle of July.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for checking out my products.

Hi,
I recently purchased your super cell project. Several pages had text missing and the teacher information sheet was blank. If you could provide some assistance, that would be great. It looks like a wonderful project!

What is the size of the posters?
February 5, 2013
Kim Coker (TpT Seller)
The posters are formatted for a standard 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper. I printed and laminated each one and hang them near the top of my wall. Students refer to them during small group and focus problem solving instruction. They could be printed smaller, but I liked the size for the space I have them hanging.

Hmmmm. I'm not sure what might be causing the black lines. Is your version of Adobe the most recent one? I have had luck opening files on a different computer. Sometimes that makes a difference.

On the ecosystem slide: ecosystem - all the living and nonliving things in a given area
When you view the slide it is fine, but when you print it out the a is doubled (aagiven area). I tried to fix it but it would not allow me to. I have printed them out so I could laminate and post in my classroom. I cannot post this one due to the mistake. I was hoping this one could be fixed. Thank you for your time!

I absolutely love your Cell stuff! I started using it in my class this week. I teach fifth grade in Decatur, AL. One thing I wish I had was a full diagram (like the ones on the test and flash cards) to label the parts all on one sheet. Do you mind if I copy the image from the PDF? I won't sell it. It's just for personal use.

It has the same number of cards as a regular deck of UNO cards. So I would say anywhere from 2-6(ish) players. I find that 4 players is kind of the most I would want in a group for management purposes. :) Have fun!

How many of the photos would you give to each group? 4-6, all 16 of them?

I gave each pair only one photo. That way they had to develop a clear argument and defend their reasoning on that one cell. It could be done different ways, of course.
September 25, 2012
rothjr3 re: CELLS CSI Investigation - Examining Plant and Animal Cells
After reviewing this item again, with the plan of using it soon with my students, can you please explain what they answers should look like. Some slides were blurry to me and I don't think I would be able to tell if it were plant or animal. I know plants are usually more rectangular in shape and have a cell wall. What else would the "report" say. I want to make this fun...because it seems to be...I just don't have explanations to go with the pictures so I, myself, can better understand what the students should see in the picture.
September 2, 2012
Kim Coker (TpT Seller)
When I did this with my students, I used some of the slides as examples. We talked as a class about what we could identify in the picture. Truthfully, some of them are VERY difficult - this is part of the point. I find that most students have the misconception that a cell looks JUST LIKE THE DIAGRAMS in their science books and this just isn't so. Their favorite answer is that plant cells are rectangular and animal cells are round. :)
The main organelles we could identify were the cell wall (more rigid/straighter edges) and the large vacuole. I used the report as a way for them to try their best to look ONLY AT THE EVIDENCE. Most students wanted to say something like "It is a plant cell because it has a cell wall, chloroplasts, chlorophyll and a large vacuole." However, when we placed them on the stand to "testify" in the case, the opposing counsel (myself and other students) would ask where they saw the chlorophyll. In some cases, I allowed students to state that their results were "inconclusive" because they were unable to identify the presence or lack thereof of those organelles. We had discussions about why artists portray the organelles in a certain way in textbooks. We looked at online pictures of mitochondria and saw those "squiggly lines"...
I don't have an answer key at this time, other than having them listed as plant or animal. The front side of the report requires them to draw a diagram of a plant and animal cell and label the organelles. This part I used as an assessment because it tied in directly to our standards. The back side I used more as a jump start for our discussions, so I gave students a pass/fail/effort grade.
Thank you for your purchase, and I hope some of my comments helped.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching fifth grade for since I got my first teaching license in Indiana in 2006 and I still LOVE it!!!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I am passionate about teaching both math and science, so I am thrilled to find ways to use STEM challenges to integrate science, technology, engineering and math topics.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I earned my BS in Elementary Education from Indiana University in 2006. I am currently working on my masters in Methods and Curriculum with a concentration in Science.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
When I'm not teaching, I'm creating... I love sewing, scrapbooking, photography, home decorating, and designing new math and science lessons. Yes, that's right. Much of my "free time" is spent "working". But it's hard to think of it as work when it's what I LOVE so much!
