Cell biology

Students so often get confused, but it really can help to clear up misconceptions when they see the two processes next to each other, and compare them.

Ecological succession is a simple topic but for some reason students have a difficult time sometimes with the finer points or remembering the vocabulary. Here is how I used the 5 E''s to teach it

Quickly and easily assess student understanding, close a lesson, or get students settled and engaged at the start of class. Save time. This READY TO USE SET of 188 prompts IN TASK CARD, SLIDE, AND GOOGLE FORM FORMAT can be used as warm ups, bell ringers, exit tickets or any other way you would use formative assessment to assess student knowledge of biology topics.

Here is freebie for you. I don't know if anyone else is enjoying a snow day, but I'm using it to get a few things done (one is getting this photosynthesis and cellular respiration resource polished up and posted).

Virtual dissections can be a huge help in teaching science, biology, physiology and anatomy. Here are the best resources for your virtual lessons and labs.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Digital Sort

This is a great DIFFERENTIATED way to ensure that students learn the names, functions, and visual recognition of each organelle, while making that lesson less dry, and more engaging. They can be up and moving, and stay active. This is an alternative to giving notes, which can be difficult for students to maintain focus and retain information. Students can work more quickly through those organelles which they already know, and spend more time or ask questions where they individually need to.

Do your students struggle to keep straight the difference terms, products, reactants, and diagrams related to photosynthesis or cellular respiration? This is a QUICK AND EASY, READY TO USE activity. Students will need to determine whether each term is related to photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or both. This foldable is a quick way to compare and contrast the two processes. Students, get a chance to draw, color, and be creative. EASY TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, BUT IN-DEPTH CONTENT.
