Ecology Unit Stations Review
This activity is designed to let students review the Ecology unit. This review includes 10 stations. The ideal way to use this activity is to cut out the individual stations and place them around the room or on a table and have students go through the stations one at a time. I often call this an “around the room” review.
You may be wondering, why stations instead of just a review worksheet? Simple answer, some students need that moving around. Students will often be motivated to finish an assi

Exciting Electrons Guided Notes Lesson - Excited State, Ground State, Flame Test
The Bohr model and excited vs. ground state is very tough to understand. In this electron excitation lesson, students are taught by an analogy of electrons filling an empty apartment building called Quantum Estates. The elevator is broken, so the electrons move into rooms and must use the stairs. It helps to reinforce that electrons exist closest to the nucleus (Aufbau principle) and that they only double up when they have to (Hund's rule).WHAT'S INCLUDED?5 E's lesson planLink to video lessonTh

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.
