Linear Curve Formula - Excel Spreadsheet
This straightforward method is called a linear scale or curve formula. It is a very versatile way of using a curve and can be used to give an extra boost to the weakest students and can be used to adjust the mean to be a target value. This Excel sheet does all the "math" for you. If you need to justify its use to students or administrators, the Excel file explains and shows the formula being used. I use linear curves for all my advanced or challenging assessments. I will pick the highest and low

Medical Mystery: What's the diagnosis?
This is a student-paced lesson where students become doctors trying to diagnose three patients. After learning about their patients' symptoms, they explore frontotemporal disorders. Students can work alone or in small groups. After diagnosing their patients, they will practice their Claim-Evidence-Reasoning skills and then use the method of their choice to educate one of the patients on their disease. For students needing translation into another language, I recommend the Pear Deck version, whic

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.
