My Biology students always get genetic drift confused with natural selection when discussing mechanism of evolution. To help them distinguish between the two phenomena, I had them simulate genetic drift using craft beads and a dice. This really helped my students visualize the effects of genetic drift on small populations. To grab this activity, head to… 🔗 www.thetrendyscienceteacher.com/geneticdrift

Do I bribe my students? Of course I do! 😉 When I have to be absent, I expect my students to be on their BEST behavior. To ensure that they follow through on that expectation, I offer a little bribery…. I mean….. incentive 😁 I leave a sub report card that allows the substitute to rate each class. Classes receiving an A+ get rewarded with tickets 🎟️ I have received so many compliments from my subs since I started implementing this system. To get this free sub report card, head over to my blog: www.thetrendyscienceteacher.com/sub

Over the years, I have implemented several systems and procedures that have helped make my “teacher life” easier. One of those procedures are these absent trays. When students are absent, I write their names in any worksheets that I handed out that day and put them in these absent drawer (organized by class period). Students know that the procedures for getting make up work after an absence are as follows: ✅ Check Google Classroom ✅ Check the absent drawer (pictured here) This ensures consistency throughout the year and students never have to wonder what we did in class during their absence. GAME. CHANGER. 👏 #teachertips #highschoolteacher #iteachscience #classroomorganization #newteachertips #newteacher

To practice crime scene sketches in Forensics, I threw 350 playing cards all over my classroom! (Those that know me, know that this made my OCD kick in to overdrive.) Students were given a list of 8 playing card (aka: evidence) to find. Once they found their evidence, they had to mark it on their crime scene sketches. Of course, I made them clean up the cards after the activity. 😉 I have a free download for this activity (It’s called One Eyed Jack) over on my blog. Grab it at: 🔗www.thetrendyscienceteacher.com/sketch

We are finally in our evolution unit and we’re getting things started with a lesson on natural selection. To introduce this concept, students participated in an activity called FEEDING FRENZY. Basically, students pretended to be worms looking for food (aka: colored yarn). It was the perfect segue into our lesson!
