This project assesses student understanding of how ecosystems functio

Potatoes on Mars
This is a culminating project that I use for my unit on Metabolism. It is based on the book/movie, “The Martian” and utilizes the science from the book to have students determine if they would be able to survive on Mars just like the character Mark Watney does. Once students see the problem solving involved in this process, they are tasked with creating a proposal for NASA about the single best crop they should take to begin a colony on Mars. This project asks students to work collaboratively,

Shark Research Pages
These handouts were used to organize and compare research conducted on different types of sharks for Shark Week. I used these with my elementary-aged homeschool students, but they could be adapted and used through junior high and into high school biology or marine biology courses. When research was completed, students used the handouts to prepare presentations of their sharks, resulting in student-centered projects that emphasized practice in reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
