Lesson Plan is missing the

​

​

:) with covid more interest by students in how genetic sequences are used

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

LINK to updated lesson

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

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)

lessons come from everywhere
