Ecosystems/Ecology Poster Project
This product guides students through the creation of a poster of an ecosystem that illustrates all of the key concepts learned in a unit on ecology. Students begin by drawing abiotic and biotic factors (plants and animals) of an assigned/chosen ecosystem and then add various symbols and labels as they go to illustrate concepts such as food webs, trophic levels, transfer of energy, limiting factors, keystone species, and more. This project assesses student understanding of how ecosystems functio

Henrietta Lacks- an "Interrupted" Case Study using the Radiolab Podcast
This podcast is the extraordinary story of Henrietta Lacks. Though she died of cervical cancer in 1951, she unknowingly held the key to unlocking medical advancements (from polio vaccines to chemotherapy drugs) in her tumor cells. After taking a biopsy of Henrietta's cervical cancer, researcher Dr. George Gey discovered that Henrietta's cells could not only reproduce, but THRIVE outside the body--a breakthrough that would change modern medicine. Later, it was found that Henrietta's cells were ev

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,
