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
History of Forensics Timeline Project
This forensics research project contains a PDF handout for students that guides them through the criteria of their research into the history of forensic investigation.

My Mineral Research Project - Explore the world of Rocks and Minerals
Minerals are all around us. They are necessary for life, they are part of the walls in the school, they help heat our houses and provide us with clean drinking water. But what are they? Where do they come from? What do they really look like? How do we get them? What are they worth? This project leads students to investigate a mineral of their choice and create a presentation or poster about it. I have included a rubric for grading the work (20 points, 15, 10, and 5 points) to help students under

Model Functional Regions of the Brain using Swim Caps- Common Core and NGSS
Brain caps are a favorite in my Honors Anatomy and Physiology course and a very cool, far less expensive, alternative to brain dissections. Students create a models of cortical structures and functional regions of the brain on one side of a swim cap, and a midsagittal view of deep structures and functional regions of the brain on the other. This project takes a little less than a week to complete, and is fast and easy to grade, plus students end up with the coolest swim cap ever! After caps are
