Designer Babies Game (a lesson in Gene Editing)
This is a game designed to help students understand concepts of gene editing and designer babies. Each pair of students gets a unique fetal profile and a different budget and then makes decisions about whether and how to "design" their baby. It is meant to give a deeper understanding of concepts of gene editing & also how income disparity may affect access to these new technologies. The game takes about 30 minutes to play and can be played multiple rounds to give students access to differ

Guided Neuron Firing Modeling: Hands-On Activity (zipped folder- Word & PPT)
Action potentials are HARD to teach. I tried teaching the concepts with POGILs, but I felt that the information was still too abstract and too hard to process for most of the students. Thus, I designed this activity since I couldn't find anything else that I really liked. This activity requires the assembly of giant neurons (using five 8.5x11 sheets taped end-to-end); if you take a look at my preview file, I have a video in there (or just watch it here) that shows what the final product looks li

Action Potential Modeling Activity 2024
Understanding the events along a membrane that lead to an action potential can be very confusing for students. I use this interactive hands-on activity as an introduction to what happens. It allows me to be more of a facilitator and help groups work through the concepts, like concentration gradients and the movement of charges. Key to the activity is also provided.
