Trees, Forestry and Deforestation 5E Lab-Distance learning possible
Update for distance learning: Students could do this lab at home with a tree in their backyard, neighborhood, or park. They need a cheap measuring tape, a cardboard triangle, string and a weight. Through zoom or a video, teachers can help students through the math. Another option is for the teacher to make a video measuring a tree and the corresponding math. Students can do the follow-up questions on their own. This is a full 5E designed for inquiry. It is advanced enough for AP, but accessible

Teaching style
My lessons are strategic to make sure everything I do gives a lot of "bang for the buck". I also develop lessons that teach kids how to be self-learners. I stay away from direct lecture whenever possible and develop labs and activities that guide students to the correct answers without me. I love and use the 5E model of instruction frequently and have recently flipped my AP class. In addition, I believe that anything we do that saves us time as a teacher makes us better, because we don't get burned out.
