Lab207

This is exactly what it sounds like. A complete, day-by-day plan for a course in AP Biology. The course plan was designed to be facilitated in the flipped format where students view online videos as homework and work on application in class. Every class session asks students to work collaboratively to apply their new knowledge in some creative manner. Furthermore, this course is constructed around the Learning Objectives set forth by the new AP Biology Course Framework. The text referenced by th

Looking to engage your students in the most current science news? This 3 day unit from Lab207 is built around the recent Curiosity Mission that NASA sent to Mars. Through the course of this project students will engage in independent research, a building project, and design work. I ran this project in my class this week and the students LOVED it! More details on the project below. Objectives: -Students will explain the formation of Mars -Students will compare and contrast earth and Mars based

TED's Disease challenges students to investigate a specific genetic disorder then use their findings to contribute to the global knowledge base via the creation of a TED ED learning module. This project was initially created for an AP Biology class, but could easily be adjusted for any number of courses. A couple examples of my students' work: Huntington's Disease - http://ed.ted.com/on/cIDw2gon#watch Achromatopsia - http://ed.ted.com/on/uPXFSwfM#watch Download Includes: -Driving question -St

Why might your generation not live as long as your parents' generation? This is the question that greets students as they enter into this month-long investigation of the American Obesity Epidemic. Through this unit students will explore the myriad contributing factors to the American Obesity Epidemic, investigate the impact of obesity on health and life expectancy, develop a nuanced view of the epidemic, and produce a product to educate their community about the problem.

Biology students often have difficulties understanding how genetic technology is applied in the real world. They have heard of genetic engineering, but have little idea of how it actually works. This project uses an engaging problem to help students understand the following: -How scientists identify specific genes. -How scientists isolate and remove specific genes from a strand of DNA. -How genes from one organism are transfered to another organism. -Ramifications of transgenic organisms Objec

This inquiry based project from Lab207 was designed for an AP Biology class. For this project students are asked to investigate various aspects of a specific genetic disorder and use their newly gained knowledge to produce a public awareness piece. The full download includes: -Fully editable word document -Fully editable, 8-category grading rubric -Project objectives -Project introduction -Project guidelines Examples of student products from this project can be viewed at http://thelabatcma

Ever looked for a way to make your course material relevant to your students? In this project from Lab207 students are asked to investigate the problem of water insecurity and organizations that are currently working to remedy the problem. Ultimately, students will choose a clean water organization and create a 3-minute "pitch" about their organization. Download includes editable project guidelines and grading rubic. Here is an example student product: http://thelabatcma.com/2012/02/blood-wat

This inquiry based, PBL piece from Lab207 was written for an AP Biology class. I was short on time and was not going to be able to cover viruses, genetic technology, and gene regulation. In response I wrote this project that puts students in the shoes of an HIV researcher and asks them to investigate and propose a course of action in response to a new strain of HIV. The project is written as a story that the students respond to by turning in 4 separate products and giving a final presentation.

Ring around the rosies Pockets full of posies Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down! Folklore has forever connected this nursery rhyme with the Black Plague. While many scholars debate whether or not this rhyme actually applies to the Black Plague, one of the lines is certainly a reference to a prevailing form of medical treatment. In the early days of disease scientists and public alike believed that disease was carried by miasma (terrible smell). Consequently, it made sense that carrying posies to w
