Evolution Vocabulary worksheet foldable quiz assessment

Created by
Dr Rex
This activity is highly adaptable. I have used this worksheet to help my students learn evolution. The vocabulary can be difficult to grasp. By using this worksheet it helps the students to visualize the terms. It can be used as a quiz. I had the students write out the definition in their own words, then switched papers and had the students correct the papers. They would write in the textbook definition for each word and then see how close the student got to the actual definition. It

This lab is a fun and easy way to demonstrate a few concepts concerning atomic structure namely the modern view of the atom (simplified) and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. the students will need only the provided target diagram and a pen, though they may go through several pens.

This is a rubric I developed early in my career It makes grading lab reports so much easier. Now I'm not a fan of rubrics and don't use them often but this one is a life saver. I have broken the typical lab report into sections each worth a set of points. Each category has criteria that needs to be met.

TEACHERS STUDENT PARENT CONTACT FORM

Ino this day and age we know that documentation is key. No matter how brief the communication or even if there wasn't any, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Email can not be trusted. Too easily hacked and deleted. The only records one can trust are ones they keep. And since this would be part of your teacher notebook and considered your property, you control access to it so u know it can't be modified. Sounds paranoid yes but I have seen things like this happen to several teachers.

Experience

I have been a science fair coordinator for 10 years and have had many of my students place in the top three. I conduct my own research and stay current with update trends in science and education

Teaching style

I am very hands on and student driven as an instructor. I believe knowledge is important but what you do with that knowledge is even more important. My students directed their own experiments and activities giving them a greater sense of connectedness with the material and their own education.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Several of my students have placed in the top three of the city science fairs with others going onto placing in the state level. My greatest award would have to be the glowing confidence on the faces of my urban school students especially, who realize that they can do science successfully.

My own education history

I currently have a masters in biology with a BS in marine biology. I have a valid CT teaching Certificate and over 30 hrs of education classes. My wide backgroud in science covers the micro to the macro to the living to the extinct. I am currently working towards my PhD in biology/paleontology.
