Skuggi's Science Stuff

This is a viewing guide for the 2014 NOVA special on Vaccinations. It is available here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/vaccines-calling-shots.html

A simple set of practice cladograms with space for an example.

This is a guide to the 2011 PBS Nature episode, Radioactive Wolves. The topic is wolves (and other species) that have repopulated the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

ACT IOD 404 and SIN 502 - Interpretation of graphs and charts, and prediction of results in a trial. Used after introductory assignments and notes about enzymes and reactions. Includes a space for a graph and a filled in table.

Students practice graphing skills (you may have to edit the directions for the graph - we have bizarre graph paper at our school that required an extra step), and data manipulation. They work with fractions, percentages, rounding, and estimation.

To go along with the (now slightly dated) documentary.

This activity includes: creating a set of axes with 4 quadrants and graphing in 4 quadrants. The result is a graph with a heart and the phrase "VDAY 2015" in the center. If you are using this for another year, the last set of points ( # 27-73) need to be changed to form the correct number - this takes about 5 minutes of your time to figure out.

This is an introduction to basic directional terminology for an anatomy course.

This is a modification of the traditional KWL chart. Informal/Formative assessment. My assumption is that this type of chart is used for each unit and can be modified. And yes, I drew the header in MS Paint. I couldn't be bothered to find a cool font instead.

Questions for a Khan Academy video on the accessory organs of the integumentary system. It was given as a homework with four days to complete it.

This goes along with the NOVA Vaccination Simulation web activity (the link is on the top of the document)

This is a matching exercise that you can alter based on the depth of coverage in your class of each of the components listed.

Goes along with my 2 worksheets on phototropism and gravitropism.

A short story about a girl's day in food. I used a calorie chart in a cookbook for reference once, but a colleague had the students do internet research. Either way works.
