AP Biology: Teaching Students how to Respond to Free Response Questions
On the AP Biology exam students will be asked to respond to 6 Free Response Questions (their responses on this section will represent 50% of the points earned on the exam). There are certain skills they need to be successful on this portion of the exam. A few of these skills include reading the prompt carefully and responding in a clear, specific manner. Because my own students have had very little practice with technical writing when they join my course in the fall, I like to start with the bas

Exercise & Cellular Respiration LAB for Biology with CER, Rubric & Teacher Guide
In this interactive lab, students investigate the effect of exercise on the rate of cellular respiration by measuring heart rate, breathing rate, and carbon dioxide production (by exhaling into a BTB solution) at rest and after two exercise intervals.Students assign pre-defined lab roles and work collaboratively in groups of 3 (or 4) to carry out the procedure and collect data. Lab groups report data to the teacher for class averages (which can be displayed to guide the post lab discussion). Gro

Ecological Succession Lab - Micro Organisms in a Bottle
Our environment tends to remain constant so long as it is not disturbed. However, what happens when either a new habitat forms or a disturbance occurs? Ecological succession is natureās attempt to make a habitat that is diversify or repair a damaged habitat. But what are the different types of succession?
Primary succession usually occurs after the formation of a new, unoccupied habitat. While, secondary succession usually occurs after the some form of disturbance to an existing community. A co

From Gene to Protein Activity
The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology revolves around the expression of genes into a workable protein. This activity will allow you to show how the genes present in an individual's genotype can affect the phenotype.Genes are the units that determine inherited characteristics such as hair color and blood type. Genes are segments of DNA molecules that determine the structure of protein that our cells make. The sequence of nitrogen bases (ālettersā) in the nucleotides determines the sequence of am

Protein Synthesis and Genetic Disease Poster Project
This is instructions and a rubric for a protein synthesis poster project. I usually accompany this with acting out the process of protein synthesis.
The students have to explain the process of transcription and translation and then elaborate on how the process can go wrong and lead to a problem with a protein (a genetic disease).
Action Potentials
I created a lesson to teach students Action Potentials which is available free via YouTube (including a guided notes handout): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuqot5uG2OE&t=229sThis resource is a description of how I prepare my students for this lesson (what I do beforehand), an answer key to the guided notes handout, a description of my follow up activity for students (in which they make a video modeling an action potential), and a rubric for the follow-up lesson.
