An overall excellent activity that provides both graphing practice and application questions.

Posted on: August 28, 2008 Posted by: Homelight2001 (c)

I am very pleased that the graph requires the student to plot data for more than one line. My students need more practice at this.

Cell Division - Mitosis Quiz

Posted on: February 7, 2007 Posted by: Hillary Enloe (c)

As a high school biology teacher, this quiz is exactly what I would have written myself! It has a variety of questions. I am always short on time, therefore this site is a great help.

Posted on: November 15, 2007 Posted by: Alexis (c)

however, the quiz should have an answer key

Posted on: November 27, 2007 Reply by: Lisa Michalek (s)

Cell Structure and Function PowerPoint Presentation Lesson Plan

I appreciate having something to download so quickly. It is convenient. The pictures and examples are disappointing.

My PowerPoint presentations have been made to be both informative on curricular topics and visually stimulating for all students. 100% of my students prefer to receive and discuss new topics via PowerPoint (compared to reading textbooks, lectures, or copying information off of the board). I have found that this method works extremely well with both mainstreamed and inclusion students. I also have a notebook with all the slides for students who need to take a second look at a slide or were absent for the day. My students look forward to my presentations and I always have 100% participation in my class� which is something to say for an urban school district!! My presentation and outline formats for teaching new material have been recommended by my administrators to new and experienced teachers at my school. Of course, you may edit them or add to them to meet your individual classroom needs.

Posted on: October 20, 2006 Posted by: Elisa Margarita (c)

I wish it were more jazzed up.

Posted on: October 21, 2006 Posted by: Vanessa Moon (s)

I gave this to a teacher in my building and her kids were intrigued and enthusiastic about the presentation!

Posted on: October 31, 2006 Posted by: Celeste Conflitti (c)

Students respnded well, teacher friendly!

Posted on: September 10, 2007 Posted by: Dennisdey (c)

Works very well if you can embellish it with your own pictures when you present; ie, pictures of viruses, etc.

Posted on: October 29, 2007 Posted by: Nicolle Larson (s)

WIll not download

Hi NLarson, I did just double check and the file does download and open. Perhaps you were having a connection problem? If you are still having problems downloading the file, please contact TPT with your email address. They will contact me and I can email you the file :)

Characteristics of Birds - Evolution Diversity Laboratory Lesson Plan

Posted on: February 8, 2008 Posted by: Gregorytucker (c)

When I ordered characteristics of birds I though the answer key would come with the lesson. please let me know whether this is true or not. tuckcat3@aol.com

Posted on: March 25, 2008 Posted by: Elizabethyeager84 (c)

I ended up not using it with my students because it wasn't clear with it's directions and I really couldn't see how it really connected with evolution. It needed some guiding questions to prompt the students to "get the picture."

Characteristics of Living Things PowerPoint Presentation Lesson Plan

Posted on: July 22, 2006 Posted by: Jean Klein (c)

Another well loved presentation for our science department! Thanks a bunch!

Characteristics of Living Things Quiz

Posted on: October 20, 2006 Posted by: Elisa Margarita (c)

Very basic quiz. It basically is a time-saver. It isn't original.

Posted on: October 21, 2006 Reply by: Lisa Michalek (s)

This 25 question quiz has two formats including fill in the blank with a word bank, and multiple choice. The goal is to assess vocabulary learned during this unit. Of course you may edit this quiz to meet your individual needs, but it has worked well in my class for a basic vocabulary assessment.

Posted on: October 21, 2006 Posted by: Vanessa Moon (s)

Many teachers purchase from Teachers Pay Teachers because of the interest in saving their precious time. I have purchased many things not out of the need to reinvent the wheel, but to simplify my life as a teacher. This quiz does a fine job of doing just that.

I think this teacher/author does a magnificent job of making "dull" topics as intereseting as possible. Our student population loves these presentations. Some of excitement must c=ome from the instructor, as a power point is only as interesting as the person presenting it.

Posted on: April 6, 2007 Posted by: Hillary Enloe (c)

Excellent Resource! This teacher/author makes the best PowerPoint presentations I have seen available. They are accurate and stated in an easy to read format. I have had great success using this PowerPoint in my biology I course.

An answer sheet should be provided for the price of the lesson.

Posted on: February 9, 2007 Reply by: Lisa Michalek (s)

The answer sheet is actually the coordinating PowerPoint presentation. I had not thought anyone would purchase just the Outline. I will definitely consider adding the "answers." Thank you for the suggestion! Lisa

Posted on: August 15, 2007 Reply by: Lisa Michalek (s)

As per the suggestion, A Teacher Guide (Key) is included with this outline.

I am very sorry... but what was posted was not my product... the error has been corrected and the presentation now correctly matches the preview.

Posted on: June 3, 2007 Posted by: Hjm897 (c)

It was very well done. Exactly what I needed.

Posted on: November 18, 2007 Posted by: Emenmaq (c)

As it was stated that it could be used also with 12th grade students, I thought it would be more detailed. I teach IB biology so I still needed to work a bit on the ppt

Posted on: January 15, 2008 Posted by: Bamma (c)

Great Powerpoint presentation. My students enjoyed it.

Kidney and Homeostasis - Human Excretion Laboratory Lesson Plan

Posted on: December 5, 2007 Posted by: Babybio (c)

Really good worksheet but not a lesson plan - doesn't give details of any student activities other than reading the (once again, very good) sheet and answering the questions. Also not really a 'lab' session as there's no practical work in it. Good use of data and tables though - useful for developing student skills in extracting data from these sources.
