This is a concept map or mind map designed to assist students in organizing and comprehending the fundamentals of cellular transport. The map covers both passive and active transport topics. For Passive transport, the information is classified into three categories: Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. For active transport, both protein pumps and bulk transport are included. I use this concept map to help students review the information at the end of the cellular transport unit. A blan
The first quiz I give my students includes vocabulary matching and complete dominance problems. There is also one dihybrid cross problem for them to complete. The second quiz I give my students includes an incomplete dominance problem, a blood type (codominance) problem, a sex-linked problem, a pedigree for them to draw and analyze, and a single Hardy Weinberg calculation to complete. The purchase includes a zip file containing Word documents, and a PDF version, and answer keys are provided to a
This worksheet packet includes 3-pages of Pedigrees to be analyzed for biology students. It includes Autosomal Dominant (Polydactyl), Autosomal Recessive (attached earlobes), and a sex (X) linked pedigree (colorblindness). For your convenience, a PDF and Word version are included, along with an answer key. These pedigrees were made for a Biology class. The purchase includes a zip file containing a Word document, a PDF version, and a 3-page answer key provided to assist teachers. The Word docume

This chart helps students to organize the content at the end of the Cellular Transport Unit. A blank student summary chart and a completed answer key for the teacher are provided to aid in the process.
Cellular devices have become a significant issue in schools and the teaching environment. To help teachers encourage students to stay off their phones when not using them for schoolwork, we've developed a reward ticket system. At the beginning of each nine-week grading period, every student receives one ticket, which they can keep in their binder or folder for safekeeping. If a student is caught using their phone during inappropriate times in class, a hole puncher will be used to remove a circl
