review

Good

  • can use parts of it to stand alone

  • reinforces the importance of genome sequencing (Covid brought that home too)

  • addresses a need in AP Bio

Needs work

  • using real data and real programs so need to run through the ahead of students (will make a video tutorial for both students and teachers…might be easier than screenshots)

  • need access to the internet to download SeaView and to run BLAST (could have teacher demo)

EARTH Lessons 2023 K.Lodes

www.mbari.org/earth

GOOD

  • Addresses more of the subtleties of OA (not shells in vinegar)
  • Graphing and all the ways to tell a story

BAD

  • students don’t know how to play the card game WAR

Could go either way

  • needs to be a class discussion
  • doesn’t always show a predicted outcome

Needs to be updated…lots of new info/data

timely topic

6 of 8

just a heads up….lesson ideas can come from anywhere this week

  • talk with different people, don’t be afraid to work with a different subject or grade level
  • think about your students and the learning you want to lead them towards
  • remember time seems to be the biggest issue in the classroom, so you don’t need a lesson that is going to take 3 weeks to do
  • teachers modify all the time (think about what you did with the EARTH lesson that you used)
