Case Study – Tibetans and Altitude (Remote)
This case study is a remote alternative to “How Do Tibetans Survive High Altitudes.” The remove version is shorter and does not require as much guidance by the instructor. I created this version with Google slides, so students can type their answers directly onto the slide. I made remote versions of several activities because I…

Data Analysis – Lizards in a Hurricane
Students examine images showing how lizards hang on to a branch during high winds. Data shows that some anoles have larger toe pads

Learn the Anatomy of the Eye
This labeling activity was designed for remote learners so that students can practice identifying the anatomical structures of the eye. The activity was made with Google slides so that students can move the text boxes to the numbers on the labels. The image of the eye shows major structures, like the cornea, lens, fovea centralis,…

Corn Chi Square (remote)
This is the remote version of a classroom activity I do with corn ears. Students would count the kernels (smooth, wrinkled, purple, yellow) and determine if the ears of corn are the result of a dihybrid cross, RrPp x RrPp. This gives students the opportunity to apply statically analysis to data sets and determine if…

Genetics of Blood Disorders – Hemophilia and Sickle Cell
I created this worksheet for anatomy students to practice using Punnett squares and comparing different types of mutations that affect the blood. Ideally, students will have already learned about genetics of blood types. Because I use this worksheet in my anatomy class, I don’t spend a lot of time teaching genetics. However, students do need…

Brain Label (Remote)
This brain labeling activity was created for remote learners as an alternative to the labeling and coloring worksheet we would traditionally do in class. Instead of coloring and labeling on printouts, students use google slides to drag labels to the images or type the answers into text boxes. The slides do not have labeled diagrams…

Photosynthesis Virtual Lab
This lab was created to replace the popular waterweed simulator which no longer functions because it is flash-based. In this virtual photosynthesis lab, students can manipulate the light intensity, light color, and distance from the light source. A plant is shown in a beaker and test tube which bubbles to indicate the rate of photosynthesis.…

Label a Long Bone – Google Slides
Anatomy students in traditional classes practice labeling the bone on paper or even doing a coloring activity to help them learn the parts of the bone. Students complete this activity on their Chromebooks, reducing the need for paper. This labeling is simply a drag and drop exercise that students can complete directly in Google Slides.…

Photosynthesis Label
I designed for remote learning during the 2020 pandemic, though it is based off a similar photosynthesis worksheet that students would complete in class. Remote learning makes it more challenging for students to do labeling exercises since it can be difficult to annotate text without other apps installed. I made this labeling on Google slides…

Biomolecules – Guided Learning
This lesson was inspired by a POGIL lesson on proteins. Like other process oriented guided learning activities, students examine graphics and information. Then they perform tasks to build their knowledge and understanding of the topic. The slides start with the basic structure of an amino acid, where students identify the carboxyl and amine groups. Then…

My Remote Toolbox
My school announced that the fall school year will start as remote learning due to wide scale community spread of Covid-19. I would much rather teach and person, but I do understand the concerns of parents, teachers, staff, and other community stakeholders. Note: Many of the activities I created for remote learning I still use…

Air Pressure and Life
Anatomy begins by describing the requirements of life. Why do you need air pressure to survive and what happens when you are in space with no pressure.

Label Digestive System
This worksheet was designed for anatomy students to practice labeling the organs of the digestive system. It is a little more advanced than what is typically seen in health or basic biology classes because it includes the three sections of the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) and the three sections of the colon. (Note: I…

Investigation: Heat Loss and Insulation in a Jar
This simple experiment can be used as a way to introduce the scientific method. Students design an experiment to test which materials are the best insulators by measuring heat loss. The materials are simple, and the experiment doesn’t take very long. They will need two beakers per group, a thermometer, and hot water. Also, a…
