Cell City Project
This is a project that teaches students the structure and function of the parts of an animal or plant cell by comparing the organelles to different parts of a city. It is a take home project. It is a three page document.
6th - 10th
Basic Principles, Biology, Science
Short History of the Microscope
Just a quick reading activity to give students a good introduction to the microscope before you use the microscopes or during a unit for homework.
5th - 10th
Basic Principles, Biology, General Science
Family Pedigree Project
This project is really fun for students in their first study of genetics. Using the guidelines and a survey data table, students make a pedigree of their family traits. I made this for 7th grade life science but it would also be okay for grades 6th-10th graders in their first study of genetics. It is a three page document which includes a data table for the survey and a letter home to the parents explaining the project.

Microscope Advertisement Project
An assignment for life science to have students make an advertisement for a microscope. Includes criteria of what should be included and how it will be graded. Just a quick one page paper - but an idea of an assignment kids love to do.

Experience
I have been a teacher for 25 years. Most of this time has been spent teaching high school physics and Calculus but I have also taught most all math and science subjects in grades 6-12.
Teaching style
I teach a hands-on science class where students learn by doing. In my math and physics classes I like the students to understand what they learn and also practice. I try to make both math and science fun and enjoyable but also challenging and content rich.
