What exactly is in the plant kingdom? I've been helping SPED students in Biology and classification. Resources I made for them became sought after by college prep and Honors students as well. So I thought I'd share this.

* What should we consider to be part of the plant kingdom?
* Why seaweed and mushrooms aren't plants
* Why is the common definition of plants misleading?
* Okay, so what other organisms belong in the plant kingdom?
* If some algae are plants, then are all algae plants?
* NGSS Learning Standards

Biology teachers - did you notice that NGSS ignores classification and taxonomy? A serious problem since, as Theodosius Dobzhansky noted, "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution." So how do we justify to a parent or administrator us taking the time to teach about this? See the learning standards at the end of this resource -

Why can’t we always use Punnett squares? Turns out they don’t work for most inherited traits.
I'm offering simple step-by-step graphics and explanations that help teachers explain why this is so :-)

I never could figure out why high school science often overlooks the lymphatic system. I created this resource for teachers, makes it much easier to explain to students. Has some helpful animated GIFs

Most folks believe that everything is either living or non-living. For example, people and giraffes are alive - and rocks, chairs, and diamonds are not. Yet we have discovered that life exists on a continuum: there is no clear binary switch between “living” and “not living.” Turns out that there are many things these have some or even most characteristics of life, but are not a complete organism. Understanding this is critical to understanding biology & evolution on an adult level - and I have created a free high-res inforgraphic available for download here

Teaching about cells, organelles, cell transport or reproduction, etc.? I have resources to share.I’ve taught high school for many years, SPED to Honors. The differentiation & adaptations I made for SPED became sought after by other students, even at Honors level. I've worked hard at developing a helpful sequence of ideas, embedded vocabulary support, step-by-step graphics, and analogies.

* What are characteristics of Life?
* Organelles
* Enzymes
* Diffusion and Osmosis
* Endocytosis and exocytosis
* Single-celled organisms - Bacteria and Archaea
* How do cells reproduce?
* The cell cycle, mitosis
* Asexual reproduction
* Meiosis
* Interactive apps
* Learning standards

As science teachers using NGSS, we don't just teach facts. We use storylines to connect facts into a larger picture. A fun way to get students interested in evolution can be to use clips from fun science fiction movies.

Many kids have seen the Tremors series of movies, featuring the fictional animal, Graboids. While fictional, we can ask - if they were real, how could they have evolved? With careful observation and Socratic questioning we inspire students to posit what form of life they could have evolved from - in doing so we cover natural selection, convergent evolution, and clades and phylogenies!

#NYC — know a science loving high school teacher itching for some real !paid! #climate research experience?

I’m looking for a high school teacher to join my team-
precipitation-extreme.

You’ll work w a grad student + me to investigate flooding #extremes in NYC, #ClimateChange & more

Then you get to develop #NGSS curricula w the full support of the #nasa #education office
