The M&M Statistics activity is almost any math and science teacher community favorite. When I tried it I just printed a shared worksheet and it went horribly in class! The worksheet was way too difficult and confusing for my students. I decided to give the activity a makeover (more visually appealing) and to just focus on what students need to know for the AP test. They only really need practice with mean, median, mode, and range. They also most likely need to know a frequency distribution c

The purpose of this activity is for students to get a better idea what they believe compared to what others in class believe about the things we value in life such as power, money, fairness, honesty, etc. This values activity works great for character education, health, psychology, sociology, or even as an ice breaker in the beginning of the year.

Pipe Cleaner Neurons Worksheet | AP Psychology

Created by

There is always a trend on how to teach parts of neurons and neural firing. Recently the trend shifted from candy neurons to pipe cleaner neurons! It is awesome! I created a worksheet (visually appealing) for the students to help communicate expectations for the activity. I learned that if I just say "build a neuron" there are a lot of misguided students. There are two parts in the worksheet. The first part is for the building of the neuron and the second part is for the neural firing instructio

Moral Dilemmas Activity for Moral Development | AP Psychology

Created by

It seemed like every assignment for moral development out there had one good idea in it but I couldn't find an assignment with all the great ideas in one place. I combined several different activities into one and made it visually appealing! The students read a moral dilemma (some of Kohlberg's) and they answer how an individual would respond in each moral development stage. The students have great discussion about the dilemmas and they get an opportunity to apply Kohlberg's stages. This product

One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of the school year is the Tip of the Iceberg Writing Assignment! I first explain that in the hallways of school we only see the "tip of the iceberg" but there is a whole other part of us that others don't see. I tell the students that I want to know their whole story to be the best teacher I can be for them. I ask the students to write a letter to me and I write a letter to the students as the template for the assignment. The students tell me so m
