TED-Ed Invitation! The Lesson of My Life!
I am amazed! I can't believe it! Someone nominated me to do a TED-Ed Lesson and my nomination was chosen!
I was nominated to do a lesson on the "Reasons for the Seasons". I am so excited that I can't even finish this post.
This is AMAZING! My 7th grade students loved this TED talk...
I recommend showing this TED talk to all of your middle school students. Amy Cuddy discusses how to change your life by changing the position of your body for 2 minutes! My seventh graders absolutely loved this video: they had a quiz in French class right after their science class, so we spent the final three minutes of our class in a POWER POSE to lower cortisol levels and elevate testosterone!
I also liked this video because it tells the story of how personal experience shaped Dr. Cuddy's research and the problem that she investigated. For those teachers who are focusing on teaching the scientific method, she clearly shows a slide that is her Problem Statement and discusses her hypothesis, as well as details on her experimental methods. She also displays graphs of her experimental measurements (hormone levels).

Teaching Tools Series: Quizlet Flash Card Set for Mitosis
I love Quizlet! My students love Quizlet even more. I copied someone else's set on Quizlet, and made this new set--added a few images and Voila! Flashcards for you.
My students especially like that you can print out flash cards or an alphabetized list...and the GAMES! Their favorite on the SMARTboard is the Scatter game. It's a fun way to study.
