Superhero Genetics Project
This activity has been a class favorite for many years as students get an opportunity to create their own Superhero(or villain) with the use of genotypes, Punnett Squares, and probability. Students will determine the phenotypes and genotypes of their parent heroes, create Punnett Squares, and then flip a coin to determine which trait the offspring ultimately ends up with. Students will use traits that are traditional mandelian, codominant, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, and will even determin

Experience
I am a fifth year science teacher with experience in biology, chemistry, physics, and marine biology. This year, I am teaching Chemistry in the Earth System and Marine Science with CTE credit.
Prior to coming to the PNW, I taught in Palo Alto, CA and Naperville, IL.
Currently, I am involved in my school district Science Advisory putting together resources, learning objectives, and unit outlines to be utilized across the district. Additionally, I work at my district and school site to create social emotional learning resources and trainings for my school.
Teaching style
My teaching style focuses on connecting students to the world around them with inquiry based learning. Straying away from direct instruction, I hope to help guide students in exploration to come to their own understanding of the materials.
My own education history
I have a BS of Chemistry Education with an endorsement in Biology and Physics and a MA in Earth Science Education.
Additional biographical information
My Chemistry and Biology sources incorporate Earth Science topics and/or Relateable Phenomena as a way to connect students to the world around them.
I suggest looking at my Year Long Standards Outline for both my Chemistry and Biology courses to see how I mix and match Earth Science NGSS with my two core classes.
