I’m new to Teachers Pay Teachers, but not new to the classroom and the research lab. These resources have been shaped through over ten years of teaching Biology, guiding experimental design, and helping students learn to think like scientists.
This activity helps teachers reinforce cancer biology, genetics, and evolution by using a real-world study to explore tumor suppressor genes, apoptosis, and Peto’s paradox. Adapted from science journalism by Ed Yong to support science literacy and experimental design thinking in the classroom. ✔ Encourages critical thinking and scientific reasoning ✔ Supports science literacy through authentic science journalism ✔ Connects genetics, evolution, and cancer biology ✔ Includes higher-order thinking
