Forensics Teachers! Check out this cute set up from one of the members of my Forensic Teacher Collaborative FB group, Jami Wilson.
She is having her students write a creative crime story from their observations of this scene.
I love the way that she is incorporating writing into her Forensics Curriculum!

We are finally starting our 🩸 BLOOD EVIDENCE 🩸 unit over in Forensics and we kicked it off with a lesson over blood typing.
After teaching about serology and blood typing, I had my students try their hand at a little murder mystery lab that I call DUMPING GROUND. ⚰️
This lab is so easy to set up and only uses household chemicals!

My new favorite classroom hack- use a straw dispenser to hold classroom pencils ✏️
I’m starting my cell transport lesson with this fun 🫧 CELL MEMBRANE BUBBLE LAB 🫧
In this lab, students perform 4 tasks that model properties of the cell membrane.
This lab is so easy to set up and is always a student favorite.

To kick off our cells unit, my Bio students participated in a CELL ORGANELLES SPEED DATING ACTIVITY!
Students were assigned an organelle to research and created a dating profile. Then, they “dated” each other to learn more about the different organelles that are found in cells.
I served punch and put tea light candles in the desk. @maniacsinthemiddle came in clutch with her ❤️ love-themed playlist on Spotify (search Miss Bensko to find it).
It was the best day! 🤩

Whoo hoo! Today, we start our cells unit.
Cells is my favorite bio unit to teach. What’s yours?

Most of my bio students come to me with no understanding of chemical reactions. (Our students take Bio before Physical Science or Chem.)
I find that it’s really difficult to teach “Chemistry of Life” if students don’t understand basic Chem.
I decided that I would do the elephant toothpaste demo so that when I’m teaching about Chem Rxns, students will have something to help them visualize the process.
I always love this demo. It makes me want to teach Physical Science again.
Here’s the recipe that most groups used:
To get a good reaction…
50 mL 30% Hydrogen peroxide
5-10 mL dish detergent
20 mL Potassium iodide solution (1M)
a few drops of food coloring
The best reaction was in a 1000 mL flask
*Note: the last group in the video doubled their recipe! 😉

Last week, my forensics students learned about @the_innocence_project. They researched people that had been exonerated through TIP and created a banner to showcase their work. I love how they turned out!
