Mink Dissection
This is the presentation I created to help my students through each major step of a mink dissection.
While the presentation came in handy, I also modeled each step for them, but tried not to show them TOO much as I went-- there's something great in the discovery being theirs.
As they started opening each mink, I would call them back, show more pictures on the board, or model through mine a bit more, quizzing as I went.
(The first day is the toughest as students have to find the trachea and e

SMARTBOARD lesson on inherited traits and heredity
This smartboard lesson showcases how to track dominant and recessive traits in plants and animals. It also hits on common dominants and recessive traits in humans, so students can search for them in their classmates as a lab exploration.
Grades:
4th - 12th, Adult Education
SMARTBOARD lesson on plant and animal cells
This smartboard lesson showcases how the human body is organized from cells to tissues, to organs, to organ systems to bodies. It also discusses the structures within plant and animal cells, comparing them to each other and to the organs of the human body.

Dissection Notes and Chicken Wing and Pickle Dissection LABS
My students spend a few days in class learning about bones, ligaments, tendons, skeletal muscles, cartilage, marrow, and tendons. I want the students to observe these parts first hand by dissecting a chicken wing.
The attached document contains notes about dissection tools and techniques. It then has a practice lab where students dissect a pickle. Finally, the document contains the chicken wing dissection lab. Teacher notes are provided for both labs.

Galileo and the Pendulum (Smartboard)
Galileo and the Pendulum is a 3-day Smartboard presentation that trains students to use the scientific method as they explore the story of Galileo's early pendulum experiments. The presentation leads students to construct their own experiments to show how swing size, mass, and string length affect the period of a pendulum. The presentation also helps students learn to create formal reports based on their experiments. The conclusion of the presentation summarizes their findings, reinforces the sc

Chocolate Taste Test Experiment
This experiment was designed and performed by English as a Second Language students in a study skills class designed to support students in core classes (including, in this case, science). The experiment follows the scientific method and encourages students to think about how to design a quality experiment. Students blind taste test four different types of chocolate(milk chocolate, dark chocolate, mint chocolate and raspberry chocolate) and rate each on a scale of 1 to 10. This experiment not

chemistry procedures lab- hot water bath
This is a 13 slide Notebook lab activity for the smartboard. It takes students through the step-by-step instructions of how to do a hot water bath. I have the students get with a partner and do the lab procedure as we work through the presentation.
It's a great intro activity to a common lab procedure.
