Mendelian Genetics Unit: Lesson 6: Intro to Punnet Squares

Before students can continue their monster project, they need to learn how to organize information about alleles, and predict future offspring using Punnet squares! This lesson focuses on how to organize information without a Punnet square, and looks at the pros and cons of solving a different way, then shows the more streamlined Punnet squares with side by side comparisons so students can see the exact same information is in both. There are levels of practice problems ranging from simple (fil

Plants: Lesson 2: Transpiration & the Xylem

In this lesson, students will take the journey through a plant via the perspective of a water droplet (traveling with a mineral). By reading an adventure-like story and illustrating it, the teacher can easily check for understanding, then later, explain the science behind what is happening. By using a story instead of a boring text, students are more engaged and visualize processes much better. This then, can provide an excellent foundation for building vocab or understanding larger scientific

Importance of learning science

Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.

Benefits of learning science

Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:

  • Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
  • Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
  • Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
  • Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe

With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.

Teaching with science resources

One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
