“Just show a video.” What teacher hasn’t heard that? And let’s be all honest, we’ve all said it from time to time. I have the Planet Earth DVDs and season 1 of Bon…

Updated to Include a Distance Learning Option: Along with a set of 10 printable BINGO cards, I have also included 10 Google Slides BINGO cards that are perfect for distance learning or a paperless classroom. ✿ Click on the PREVIEW for a closer look at this product. This genetics activity is a sure-fire way to get students hooked on genetics! I love using this at the beginning of my genetics unit because it gets students interested and invested in learning about genetic traits and what causes them. Students first examine their own genetic traits before diving into the unit. ************************************************************************** REPRESENTATION AND INCLUSION Each trait is represented by a photo. I have updated all the images used in this resource to represent different ethnicities in an attempt to increase representation in my teaching resources. ************************************************************************** YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE ► Gregor Mendel - Article with Questions (Science Literacy / Sub Plan) ************************************************************************** TEACHERS WHO HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT HAVE SAID: ♥ "This was the most popular activity in my Genetics Unit!" (Thanks Amy Y.) ♥ "I used this activity as an opener to my genetics unit. The students loved it!!! They had so much fun, they didn't want to stop playing!!" (Thanks Christina V.) ♥ "It was a great start to my unit, intelligent and fun." (Thanks Laura S..) ************************************************************************** A Fun Way to Play Genetics Bingo: As you call out each trait, the students have to identify if they have it or not. If they have the trait and they have it on their bingo card, then they get to cross it off. Students really enjoy this activity as they get to stick out their tongues (and roll them or not), pull on their ears (and figure out if they are attached or detached) and sweep up those bangs (to see if they have a widow's peak or not). This activity will make it a fun day for both students and teacher. If this is used for distance learning, then the Google Slide Cards can be used with Google Meets or Zoom. *************************************************************************** THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES: (1) 10 Different BINGO Cards (2) Teacher's Instructions (3) Call Out Card (This helps you keep track of which traits under which letters you've already called out). (4) Student Card Assignment Chart GENETIC TRAITS EXAMINED: (1) tongue-rolling vs. non-tongue rolling (2) regular thumb vs. hitchhiker's thumb (3) clasped hands with right thumb on top vs. left (4) freckles vs. no freckles (5) dimples vs. no dimples (6) cleft chin vs. no cleft chin (7) widow's peak vs. straight hair line (8) brown eyes vs. light-colored eyes (9) straight vs. curly hair (10) Vulcan fingers vs. Earthling fingers (11) likes broccoli vs. dislikes broccoli (12) attached earlobes vs. detached earlobes *************************************************************************** OTHER RELATED GENETICS PRODUCTS: MEIOSIS ► Meiosis - LESSON BUNDLE - 40% OFF ► Meiosis - Big Foldable for INB or Binders (Printable PDFs with 12 Options for Differentiation) ► Meiosis - Critical Thinking Activity (Printable & Google Slides Options) ► Meiosis - Homework Review Worksheet (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Meiosis - Guided Tutorial Worksheet (Printable and Google Slides Options) ► Meiosis - Guided Tutorial Drag & Drop Google Slides Activity (Google Slides & 4 Options for Differentiation) ► Meiosis - 8 Interactive Google Slides Activities (Google Slides & 8 Options for Differentiation) ► Meiosis - 80 Task Cards with Game Board (Printable PDFs with Editable Template & Google Slides Options) ► Meiosis - Tarsia Puzzle Group Review Game (Printable PDFs with Options for Differentiation) ► Meiosis - Word Scramble Review Activity (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Meiosis - Crossword with Two Versions (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Meiosis - Quiz with Two Versions (Editable, Printable PDF & Self-Grading Google Forms Option) ► Meiosis - Test with Two Versions (Printable PDF & Editable Options) MITOSIS ► Mitosis and the Cell Cycle - LESSON BUNDLE - 50% OFF ► Mitosis and the Cell Cycle - Interactive PowerPoint with Notes (Editable) ► Mitosis and the Cell Cycle - Word Scramble Review Activity (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Mitosis and the Cell Cycle - Jeopardy Review PowerPoint Game (Editable) ► Mitosis and the Cell Cycle - Test with Two Versions (Printable PDF & Editable Options) ► Mitosis - Big Foldable for INB or Binders (Printable PDFs with 12 Options for Differentiation) ► Mitosis - Guided Tutorial Worksheet and Drag & Drop Google Slide Activity (Printable and Google Slides Options) ► Mitosis - 16 Interactive Google Slides Activities (Google Slides & 16 Options for Differentiation) ► Mitosis - Homework Review Worksheet (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Mitosis - 56 Task Cards with Game Board (Printable PDFs with Editable Template & Google Slides Options) ► Mitosis - 3 Hands on Activities for Interactive Notebooks (Printable PDFs) ► Mitosis - Taboo Group/Pair Review Game with 32 Cards (Printable PDF with Editable Template) ► Mitosis - Diagram Crossword (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Mitosis - Crossword (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) ► Mitosis - Quiz with Two Versions (Editable, Printable PDF & Self-Grading Google Forms Option) ► Mitosis - Clip Art of Animal and Plant Cells (112 PNG Image Files) ► The Cell Cycle - Crossword (Editable, Printable PDF & Google Slides Options) DNA ► DNA Structure & Replication - LESSON BUNDLE (13 Resources) - 40% ► DNA Structure - LESSON BUNDLE (7 Resources) - 30% OFF ► DNA Replication - LESSON BUNDLE (6 Resources) - 25% OFF ► The History of DNA - LESSON BUNDLE (4 Resources) - 20% OFF ► DNA Structure - Big Foldable for INBs and Binders (Printable PDFS with 5 Options for Differentiation) ► DNA Structure - 8 Interactive Google Slides Activities (Google Slides with 8 Options for Differentiation) ► DNA Structure - Homework Review Worksheet (Editable, Printable PDFs & Google Slides Options) ► DNA Structure - Tarsia Review Game (Printable PDFs with 2 Difficulty Levels) ► DNA Structure - Crossword (Editable, Printable PDFs & Google Slides Options) ► DNA Structure - Quiz with Two Versions (Editable, Printable PDFs & Self-Grading Google Forms Options) ► DNA Replication - Big Foldable for INBs and Binders (Printable PDFS with 6 Options for Differentiation) ► DNA Replication - 8 Interactive Google Slides Activities (Google Slides with 8 Options for Differentiation) ► DNA Replication - Homework Review Worksheet (Editable, Printable PDFs & Google Slides Options) ► DNA Replication - Crossword (Editable, Printable PDFs & Google Slides Options) ► DNA Replication - Tarsia Review Game (Printable PDFs with 2 Difficulty Levels) ► DNA Replication - Quiz with Two Versions (Editable, Printable PDFs & Self-Grading Google Forms Options) ► Rosalind Franklin - Great Minds in Science Article #7 (Printable PDFs & Google Forms Options) *************************************************************************** Copyright © Anh-Thi Tang (Tangstar Science) All rights reserved by author.

Virology is targeted to middle and high school and it can even be used by students who have not yet studied cell biology at the high school level.
Back in the day when I taught at a public school, I didn’t even think twice about my scope and sequence. This was all provided for me and standardized across
We provide resources that are:
Recently, blog readers have asked me to write about scope and sequence in my biology class. Determining the best scope and sequence for your students is very difficult as a new teacher. It’s so hard to know! What do I cover? When? And to what depth? I have found that my own personal preferred scope […]

Let's be honest - there is only so much we can learn in our undergraduate courses, student teaching experiences, and alternative certification programs. At the end of the day, so much that I've learned about being a teacher, and teaching biology specifically, has been through trial and error. If we want to get fancy, we can call it "action research" in my own classroom, like my graduate professors referred to it.

Cell to Helix How is all that DNA arranged to fit into a single cell!? Over 3 billion base pairs coiled, wrapped, and jumbled into what eventually looks like a tangled mess within the nucleus. Yet it's somehow still accessible for replication, transcription, and repair--- blows my mind! Trace the purines and pyrimidines from the nucleus to chromosome, super-coil, scaffolding, histones, and finally to the double helix :) FINE ART PRINT • Museum quality fine art paper • Acid-free, 100% cotton rag, lightly textured • Archival pigment inks • Signed by artist • Unframed Use this listing for the Buy 3 Get 1 Free: https://www.etsy.com/listing/229635451/sale All artwork is original, created and owned by Sandra Black. ©Sandra Black http://www.SandraBlackArt.com
