Create a Mammal
I use this activity as an introduction activity for our Mammal Chapter in my high school Zoology Class. We are are one-year general level science elective, with a mixture of students from all sorts of backgrounds. I like this activity because it allows the students to bring their background knowledge to the activity, and combine it with a creative flair. Plus, it gets my students working together in small groups. The activity itself can be made as simple or complex as needed, so is probably vers

Butterfly Camouflage Lab
Students color and hide 3 paper butterflies around the classroom. They use colored pencils, crayons and markers to provide camouflage so the butterfly blends in with its natural environment. After 2-3 days of creating and preparing, students get an opportunity to hide their butterfiles. The instructor acts as the predator to find as many butterflies as possible. After 2 trips aroudnd the classroom, any butterflies that have not yet been discovered are revealed by their creators. Prizes are

Genetics and Heredity: Traits, genotype and phenotype practice
This is a custom worksheet packet I made for my 7th grade life science students. The Genetics and Heredity unit has lots of new terms and vocabulary and I wanted to create something for my students where they could practice vocabulary like traits, genotype, phenotype, dominant trait, recessive trait, homozygous and heterozygous before we start using Punnett Squares. Depending on the level of your students you can do some of this as a whole class or have students work in pairs to complete the w

Shoe Dichotomous Key Lab
Students come in and all place their right shoes into a large pile. They then use the provided template to create a dichotomous key that separates the shoes into smaller and smaller piles based on their charateristics until all students have their shoes back.
The next day, repeat using the already created dichotomous key and discuss why it didn't work the next day (students wearing different shoes have introduced "new" organisms into the environment).

Counting Turtles Mark and Recapture Lab
Students use a cardboard box to represent their "pond" and several cutout paper turtles to represent their population.
Students take turns reaching in and capturing some of the turtles, and marking them with a highlighter.
Turtles are replaced and students take turns again capturing turtles. Using the provided formula, students are able to estimate the total population based on the number of recaptured turtles after round 2.
Lastly, students count the actual number of turtles in the po

Design a Reptile
**Caution** This is not in the same "family" as my "Create-a-" animal series. I created this Design a Reptile to use with my high school Zoology course. This is an activity I use at the end of the reptile unit. Each student or group is asked to design a "new" reptile. They will pick which biome it lives in, and then focus on anatomy and behavior adaptations that will help their animal do well in their chosen habitat. Students create a book, where each page spread has one page for illustrat
Human Body Systems Student Teaching Activity- Student Led Project Based Learning
In this role reversal project, students are guided through the process of researching a human body system. They are then required to create a 20 minute lesson where they are responsible for teaching their classmates. Through the guided worksheets, they gather necessary information about their system, design lessons based on what they consider to be the "best type of science class". They are responsible for creating their agendas, learning goals, activities, demonstrations, worksheets etc.

Invent an alien: learning about the solar system & systems of the body
This project gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the solar system, systems of the human body, and adaptations. Students will be given the opportunity to research a planet (it's atmosphere, weather, composition, etc.), then invent an alien that would be able to survive on the planet. While inventing their alien, students need to create systems of the alien's body that will allow it to survive on the assigned planet. Students also need to ensure that the alien's bod
