Can we do a real high school level #genetics lab using only #LEGOs? Well, yes we can! Here is the info & lab. Honors students loved it, and this was originally designed from the ground up for our #SPED students.

I'm a believer in reversing the traditional vector of IEPs, scaffolding & differentiation - by that I mean, once one makes any IEP adaptations, then why not then fold those adaptations back into the general class, whenever possible?
Much of what I originally made for students with IEPs became sought after by all my other students, and then students of other teachers, from the Honors science classes (and now from other schools.)

What's the difference between chlorine, chlorine, and chlorine? Glad that you asked! This is an example of where colloquial English isn't good enough to distinguish between several very different things. We make it easier to understand here -

What are the sources of energy for life on Earth? All life depends on the sun, right? Mostly.... yet life is wildly creative! There's also

#Chemosynthesis - Some cells use energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals.

And also #radiolysis?! Nuclear power as a source of life!?

Biology teachers can have fun with this! In this lesson students view scenes from the Tremors series of movies. Students take notes on Graboid biology: external anatomy, internal anatomy, lifecycle and behavior.

Teaching physics, astronomy, or maths (conic sections)? I put together this resource on orbits. What are they? Do they really last forever? (No!) How did we discover orbital motion? How can we get an object into Earth orbit? Do planets really orbit around a stationary star?
