Save time with this ready-to-teach bundle—includes editable PowerPoint, student-guided notes, and scaffolded practice problems aligned to AP Biology Skills 1.C, 4.A, and 5.C.This ready-to-use PowerPoint and student guided notes bundle is perfect for introducing or reviewing the Scientific Method and essential statistics skills in AP Biology. Designed by a current AP Biology teacher, this resource aligns with the College Board's expectations and includes scaffolded examples, printable guided not

This is a comprehensive google slides that explores #stoichiometry with high school students. It is intended for both general and honors level chemistry, however alternative pacing alongside additional support/scaffolding may be required for general chemistry students. This set of slides offers guided notes to challenging content, integrates content knowledge from previous units, and also provides structured example problems with opportunities for the teacher to check students' understanding.

This resource contains two slides, which can be printed/laminated to serve as a mini-activity, warm-up, or even bell ringer to assess your students' understanding of alleles, allele frequencies, genotypes, phenotypes, and gene pools. In short, students examine a single slide that shows images of starfish, each a particular color and provided with a specific genotype. Students analyze the population, describe the phenotypes, state which genotypes produce each phenotype, and calculate the all

This resource serves as a station review of monohybrid crosses, where students are tasked with a variety of problems, such as: reading a scenario to conduct a Punnett cross, analyzing an incorrect cross, identifying the significance of a Punnett square's components (e.g. gametes vs possible zygotes), and explaining the results of a cross. Students should be familiar with what a Punnett square is, genotype, phenotype, allele, gamete, zygote, and terms that relate to probability (e.g. like

This PowerPoint covers atoms, molecules, compounds, isotopes, ionic (monatomic and polyatomic)/covalent bonding, and covers content such as the octet rule and naming compounds. The PowerPoint also comes with a set of student guided notes, embedded with plenty of practice problems to either assign in class or for homework. The guided notes are partially completed notes that students must use to complete what remains from the PowerPoint itself. Photos were acquired from Google.

This test is meant to assess student comprehension and progress with regard to atomic structure in high school chemistry, grades 9-12. The test consists of 3 pages, double-sided, with various questions. Content includes: subatomic structures, charges, shell models, valence electrons, nuclear symbols, isotopes, electron configurations, and calculating weighted average mass using mass spectra (e.g. abundance and percent abundance). It also briefly touches on periodic trends but does not go into de

The attached document contains four rubrics made to go along with Neil Shubin's book Your Inner Fish. The initial intent of this was to serve as a summer reading project in preparation for the school year ahead in AP Biology. Students are presented with a single page document that displays a panel to preview all four projects and, from there, determine what they're most interested in doing. I kept the textbook reading attached as well, but please disregard if you don't find it applicable.4 Pro

This formative assessment serves as a warm-up activity to check-in on students and their understanding of significant figures. It could be used at the start of class or perhaps to recall what was previously discussed! Students will be given 1 of 30 potential cards. When all students have one, each will need to find a classmate with a complementary card. It's a great way to get them up and moving and, most importantly, talking to one another about class content! e.g. one student whose card says "

This stoichiometry activity is meant to support teachers that are introducing mass to mass calculations in their classrooms. It consists of four problems in total which can be printed on one sheet of paper (two-sided) with a template for students to use moving forward as they approach more mass to mass calculations. I have also attached a series of practice problems that do not come with flashcards. These are meant for students to further utilize the template and method you've now introduced wi

This resource is intended to help students that are struggling to grasp how ionic compounds are made. Students are able to manipulate the jamboard puzzle pieces and align them up easily to understand the necessary quantities of each ion needed to construct a balanced compound.

This quiz serves as an assessment for monohybrid crosses, in which students should be able to demonstrate their understanding of punnett squares, genotypes, and phenotypes. Short responses also ask students to reflect upon the results of a cross, one of which asks them to reflect on how likely an event was to occur. The quiz is one page, two-sided, and consists of 12 questions. The first portion is matching essential vocab, while the following include crosses - one of which is codominance wh

The resources enclosed in this product include visuals for students to use and refer to as they're introduced to blood type genetics. It is in the format of Google Slides; however, once accessible you can print the individual slides, laminate, or utilize them as you see fit. The first visual shows all four blood types as red blood cells with their corresponding antigens, along with their possible genotypes. The second and third visuals can be printed, cut out, laminated and put at table grou

This worksheet is intended to be a review of stoichiometry problems that relate to calculations involving moles. Students are presented with various calculations that they must demonstrate their understanding of; molar mass, mole-mass calculations, and mass-mass calculations. Specifically, the worksheet contains: (6) molar mass calculations, (4) gram-mole calculations, (4) mole-mole calculations, and (2) gram-gram calculations with a template provided.This might be most useful as a small review

The provided rubric was made to supplement the HHMI activity "Developing an Explanation for Tuskless Elephants," which has students research the phenomenon to understand and explain the evolutionary pressures changing Elephant populations throughout Africa. Rather than having students write an explanation, this rubric asks students to address the question from Part 3 by alternatively constructing a model, which can be completed either on paper or by using Sage Modeler (a free online resource l

This worksheet helps students visually understand how ions form by linking the Octet Rule with shell models. Students are tasked not only to draw these shell models but to identify key aspects of each element, such as its atomic number, electrons, valence electrons, and how likely the element is to gain or lose electrons based upon the Octet Rule. It's a great supplement to their understanding of how ions form.

This assessment is meant to gauge student understanding of three areas of ecology: kingdoms of life, ecological hierarchy (organism to ecosystem), as well as ecological succession. This is meant to be a formative assessment following notes, activities, and projects of the topics - ideally meant for the introductory level of biology.
