We are putting our Mendelian Genetics knowledge to

We are putting our Mendelian Genetics knowledge to use this week with this MONSTER MATES LAB.

Earlier this week I taught a basic “Intro to Heredity” lesson and we practiced monohybrid crosses (Punnett Squares).

For this lab, students flipped a coin to produce random alleles that they translated into genotypes. They used a trait chart to determine which traits were dominant/recessive and predicted the phenotypes for their monsters.

I created an assembly line of monster traits/body parts and the students collected the traits that best suited their unique monsters. The next day, students assembled their monsters.

Then, it was time for the monsters to mate and make baby monsters! Students then had to create Punnett squares for each trait to determine the probability that their baby monsters would have those traits.

The students really enjoyed this lab and it definitely helped them to get a basic understanding of genetics and heredity.

This week we started one of my favorite units- HEREDITY!

I kicked off the unit with a trait tracker lab where students took inventory of their traits and analyzed our class data.

Observing traits initiated some really good conversations between my students. I have saved this activity in my highlight bubble labeled “HEREDITY.”

Anyone else love teaching heredity?

What an honor to be named STAR teacher by this STA

What an honor to be named STAR teacher by this STAR 🌟 student! This young lady has graced my classroom with her outgoing personality, witty sense of humor, and her unmatched drive for excellence. She’s GOING PLACES and I’m incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to stand beside her as she is recognized as one of the top students in the state of Georgia!

I often get asked what my students’ favorite Forensics topic is. Most tell me BLOOD EVIDENCE!

I kick off my blood evidence unit with a student-directed 🩸 BLOOD SPATTER inquiry lab.

It’s so easy to set up and requires very little prep. The best part is that they students generate their own knowledge through design and experimentation.

Today was our first day back from the holiday break- so that meant BENCHMARKS 📝

These benchmarks are just one component of my progress monitoring system.

Why am I such an advocate of progress monitoring? 🤷‍♀️

Because it’s customized for EACH student!

It meets the student where they are and helps them to set goals that they work toward throughout the year.

Thank you all so much for an AMAZING year! The connections that I have made with you all have made me a better teacher. Your support, encouragement, and inspiration have made 2022 an unforgettable year and I am looking forward to serving you in 2023! 🎉

I couldn’t be more pleased with my Forensics students’ CHRISTMAS CRIME SCENE projects!

My room was a disaster for about a week, but it was worth it. If you teach forensics, you’ve got to add this project to your holiday line up.
