Monster Mutations Lab Activity
The topic of mutations has never been more fun or made easier with this hands-on activity! Students will explore different types of mutations (silent, missense, nonsense, and frameshift), see how mutations can influence the phenotype of a monster, and connect why mutations matter for evolution. Although in real life each codon codes for one amino acid, in Monster World, each codon determines an entire trait instead! Students will flip a coin twice for each of 7 codons and see how point mutations

Protein Synthesis (Transcription and Translation) Pizza Lab Activity
The topic of protein synthesis has never been more fun or easier to understand than with this hands-on, mission-based lab. Students will build a deeper understanding of the relationship between DNA and proteins as they transcribe and translate their very own “pizza gene” into a paper pizza. Students will play the role of pizza chefs in the Genome Pizza Kitchen, where each customer’s “order” arrives as a gene. Students must transcribe the DNA into mRNA, then translate one codon at a time

Evolution of Darwin's Finches - Beak Adaptations Lab
This is a fun twist on the classic Beak Adaptations lab. Unlike other versions of this lab, students will explore different "scenarios" that demonstrate the intricate balance between a "changing" nature and adaptations. They have a BLAST with this lab, and it did take me quite a few years to get this version that I absolutely love. I use this lab for both AP Environmental Science when I teach adaptations and Biology when I present evolution by natural selection. The lab will take 50-60 minutes

Experience
Hello, and welcome to my store! I strive to bring high quality and engaging science resources to teachers so they can teach effective, creative, and fun lessons. I have an M.A in Secondary Science education and a M.S in Molecular Biology. When I decided the professor life wasn't for me, I moved to Jacksonville Beach in 2013 to become a high school science teacher. At my high school I have taught Biology, AP Biology, AP Environmental, Dual Enrollment Biology, Dual Enrollment Zoology, and Student Life Skills.
Teaching style
My pedagogy is a balance of routine, so that students have clear expectations, with variability, so that there is a constant curiosity and eagerness to learn. Each class flows in a similar way - I start with a bell ringer, followed by an engaging teacher-led lecture with guided notes, and then I gradually release them into an independent activity. I like to keep them on their toes (and off their phones!) by switching up the independent work. It could be a lab, a coloring assignment, a game, a digital escape room, or a craft! Whatever it is, it will be fun and there will always be something for every type of learner.
My father always said, "worry about learning and the grades will follow." This sentiment has had a huge impact on me as a student and a teacher. I never "crammed" for a test because I truly learned as I went. Similarly, prepping students all year for a standardized test isn't engaging, scientific, or uplifting. As a teacher, it is just as important to inspire growth & curiosity as it is to teach, and this is how I approach my content as a TPT creator.
My own education history
I have a Masters (M.S) in Molecular and Cellular Biology from The University of Florida, a Masters (M.A) in Secondary Science Education from Virginia Tech, a B.S in Biology and a B.S in Animal and Poultry Sciences.
I currently teach Dual Enrollment Biology, Dual Enrollment Zoology, AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, and Biology in the state of Florida.
