PLEASE WATCH MY VIDEO PREVIEW to get a better understanding of how much you get for your money's worth with this bundle. This bundle is an excellent choice for both CP/Honors/AP courses as each lesson can be modified to best fit your students' needs. The bundle is primarily and introduction to neurons. It covers structure; neuron to neuron communication; neurotransmitters; memories; and action potentials. It contains 9 lessons that all work from the same google slideshow. The more complex les
This is a great multiday lesson where students learn the basics of neurons, their structure, and how action potentials occur and are used to release neurotransmitters. There are three primary resources: a google slide show, and introductory fill in doc that corresponds to the slideshow, and a doc with instructions and guiding questions that lead students through an online action potential simulator. Both docs include keys.
This is a simple one day lesson using the lab exchange web site PCR protocol to learn about the process of PCR. After using the protocol to answer a series of questions, student then engage in a CER to show their understanding.
Remember that lame 'lab' we all did when we just used PTC paper to test for dominant or recessive alleles, made a punnet square and called it a day? Those days are gone. This lab is engaging, has flare, and incorporates modern day microbiology techniques and skills that students will take with them to the next level. They will remember extracting their own DNA, using PCR to make millions of copies of their PTC allele, then cutting it using restriction enzymes to digest their DNA, and finally
All in one dissection instruction/diagram/student assessment docs for high school and college level dissections (sheep brain, cow eye, chicken wing, long bone, sheep heart, rat, fetal pig). Each dissection contains its own instruction doc complete with pictures, labeled diagrams, video links (sheep brain, cow eye, long bone, chicken wing, & heart only), and student assessments.
This is a student led tutorial where they explore the structure and function of CRISPR. This is a stand alone lesson or can be used as an intro to my 'Out of the Blue' CRISPR gene editing activity. The lesson includes a lesson plan; google slides (with Nearpod slides); A link to an HHMI CRISPR simulation activity; and a student worksheet doc that corresponds with the simulation.
This bundle culminates with students actually using CRISPR editing in the high school classroom! It utilizes the Bio Rad 'Out of the Blue' CRISPR gene editing lab which can be purchased on line directly through Bio Rad. This is a VERY exciting lab that brings college level lab technique and content into AP, Honors, and College Prep level science classrooms. This type of endeavor in a high school classroom requires so much front learning, prep, and TIME. My goal with this bundle is to streamli
This is a phenomena driven unit that covers biochemistry basics and its relation to cellular functions; respiration; photosynthesis; and cellular transport. What makes these bundles unique is the student centered pedagogy that moves the unit along. Please have a LISTEN TO MY VIDEO PREVIEW to get a sense for what I consider one of the most effective student driven phenomena centered NGSS units you will find. This is PART 1 of a 3 PART BUNDLE. TPT caps the number of resources allowed in a goo
This is a stand alone lesson that uses color printed handouts (from Bio Rad) to work through a collaborative simulation. Students use an instructional guide to simulate the process of gene editing. The guide contains both information about the process and questions to drive inquiry. This is an excellent addition to my 'Out of the Blue' CRISPR editing lab. This lesson contains a lesson plan; google slides (with Nearpod slides) color cutout doc; and a guided instruction doc with questions
This bundle culminates with students actually using bacterial plasmid genetic modification in the high school classroom! It utilizes the Bio Rad 'pGLO' bacterial plasmid editing lab which can be purchased on line directly through Bio Rad. This is a VERY exciting lab that brings college level lab technique and content into AP, Honors, and College Prep level science classrooms. This type of endeavor in a high school classroom requires so much front learning, prep, and TIME. My goal with this bundl
This hands on lab activity engages students with actually using CRISPR editing in the high school classroom! It utilizes the Bio Rad 'Out of the Blue' CRISPR gene editing lab which can be purchased on line directly through Bio Rad. I also have a larger CRISPR 2 week bundle that can be purchased as well. This is just the prelab, lab, and post lab. This is a VERY exciting lab that brings college level lab technique and content into AP, Honors, and College Prep level science classrooms. This typ
This is a simple activity on how to use micropipettes in lab. It can be stand alone or as a intro for lab technique in either of the 'Out of the Blue' CRISPR gene editing or 'pGLO' gene editing activities. It includes a lesson plan and a printable student worksheet

This lesson guides students through important ethical questions regarding CRISPR. It also relates to current FDA decisions being made here and now. This is good for a stand alone student discussion or lead in to my 'Out of the Blue' CRISPR editing lab. It has direct connections from recent FDA decisions regarding sickle cell anemia treatment - a treatment that uses the same STOP codon strategy used in the lab. This lesson contains a lesson plan; source materials; google slides; and a student
