This week in Biology, I used this easy activity to simulate THE RULE OF TEN.
It was easy to set up and provided my students with a visual representation of how energy flows through an ecosystem.

New day…. new unit! I’m excited to start ENERGETICS in bio 🤩
Let me know in the comments what topic(s) you’re currently teaching!
I’ll pick one name randomly and send you your choice of this mug, $20 Venmo cash, or an Amazon gift card.
Drawing will be held on Sunday, October 29th and the winner will be announced in this thread! 😀
I’ve tried so many “osmosis” labs, but this one is my favorite to date!
For this lab, I used Orbeez beads to simulate the process of osmosis. Students used their data to answer real-world problems about human read blood cells and other health- related situations.

Today was 🎟️ TICKET CASH-IN 💰 day in my classroom!
My students earn tickets throughout the year for various things and cash in those tickets at the end of the grading period.
I had prizes, snacks, and other fun rewards. It was fun to see how excited they got about some of the prizes! 🤩

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! 🤩
