Bill Nye BIODIVERSITY / ECOLOGY middle school DIGITAL SELF-GRADING Google apps

Teaching biodiversity and ecology has never been easier! Reinforce or introduce the concepts of biodiversity, ecology, living, and non-living parts of ecosystems with this SELF-GRADING digital video guide created in Google Forms! I’ve learned over the years that Bill Nye can be a fantastic classroom resource, but only if done properly. That challenge is met with this well designed and engaging student video guide.

Since I started using Google Drive and Google Classroom my science class runs so much smoother! This self-grading video guide utilizes Google Forms as a powerful way to make your teacher life much easier!

NO COPIES, NO GRADING! In this download, you get a 20-question, SELF-GRADING digital video guide. Questions are in chronological order (my students always ask if the questions are in order!). Screenshots from the episode accompany ALL questions to provide cues to students and keep them engaged. The digital video guide is fully editable, so you can add or delete questions to suit your classroom and your students.

NOTE: the video guide can be printed, so you can use this as a traditional worksheet if desired!

The printable version is perfect for subs or classes that benefit from a traditional pencil and paper experience. This lesson was designed to accompany “Bill Nye the Science Guy: Biodiversity” (Season 1, Episode 9).

As of this writing, the full episode is available to view on YouTube.

The digital video guide was designed using Google Forms and can be shared with your students via Google Classroom or Google Drive. Once shared, students can take the assessment and you can immediately see their results.

Once students complete the assessment, you have several options.

1. You can see an item analysis of the students' work.

2. You can see individual responses for each of your students.

3. You can also view an excel spreadsheet with all of your students' answers.

If you are new to Google Forms, no problem! Your download includes a link to a video that explains the features of Google Forms and how to customize your form to be perfect for your students!
