Finding Dory Viewing Guide 1
This viewing guide for the movie Finding Dory has a focus on regents level ecology. It is best suited for students taking Regents Living Environment, a biology course elective, or an environmental science course elective. For a more challenging viewing guide, the Finding Dory Viewing Guide 2 has more complicated questions that are on a level more in line with AP Environmental Science which focuses on marine/aquatic biomes and levels of the ocean.

Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Venn Diagram Activity
Your students will love learning the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells with this fun Venn diagram activity! You can either print out a Venn diagram, draw one on anchor chart paper or draw right on the desks with expo markers like I did (don't panic- they wipe right off with a baby wipe)!! My students were engaged and actively rationalizing their reasoning for putting the characteristics where they did. This is a great introductory, discussion based lesson on the difference betw

Living Environment Processes Reference Sheet
Regents Review can be overwhelming for Living Environment because there are processes (a lot of them) students need to learn throughout the year. This reference sheet allows students to keep information about each process in a clear and concise way to refer to while studying for the Regents Exam. Of course, this information could be used in many biology courses, and is not limited to New York State Regents classes.

Getting To Know You Instagram Account
This getting-to-know-you project is great for the first few days of school where the kids are still shy and maybe haven't made close friends yet! The students create their very own getting to know you Instagram account which can be hung around the room so they can get to know their classmates as well!

Experience
I am a 9th grade Living Environment Special Education teacher in Queens, NY. Although I teach 9th grade now, I have experience teaching 8th grade Life Science, 10th and 11th grade Regents Living Environment and 12th grade elective course on environmental science with a focus on human impact.
Teaching style
I believe resources should be as interesting to look at as possible while still delivering the content the students need in order to successfully pass the Living Environment Regents exam at the end of the year. I believe movies can help deliver content in a familiar way to students and that shouldn't be frowned upon. If my kids will understand marine/aquatic ecosystems by watching Finding Nemo and Finding Dory through the lens of Ecology, so be it! I love science so getting to teach what I am most passionate about to my students makes the class innately entertaining for them since I get so excited, plus their notes sheets do not look boring which I hope helps them study easier.

My own education history
I went to SUNY Farmingdale on Long Island for my Bachelors degree which is in Bioscience. Afterwards, I attended Adelphi University for my Masters degree in Secondary Adolescent Education with an Advanced Certification in Special Education.
Additional biographical information
I am a huge nerd for the sciences. I love dogs and will stop mid-sentence to alert whoever I'm speaking to that there is a dog in our vicinity, and subsequently ask to pet it. I will do almost anything for Chipotle.
