Mrs. April Richards set up various Biology stations for her class that allowed students to begin thinking about skills and knowledge that will be used in Biology while getting to know their classmates. Each station required students to engage with a science-related task and to discuss a question with their group members. Students were given the goal of meeting as many of their classmates as possible by changing their group members each time they rotated to a new station. Tasks included making observations, creating a classification system based on common characteristics, exploring homologous structures and relatedness of organisms, practicing math that will be used in biology, decoding words based on root words, identifying potential dangers in the lab and creating rules/procedures to prevent issues, and completing a Claim Evidence Reasoning writing task. Station 1: Microscopes (Use a microscope, guess what is on the slide, label parts of the microscope using test taking skill of completing what you know first.) Station 2: Classification (Classify objects into groups based on common characteristics.) Station 3: Experiment Design and Data Analysis (Identify components of experiments and draw conclusions based on data shown in graph.) Station 4: Making Observations (Compare and contrast two different plant species.) Station 5: Lab Safety (Identify a potential danger and develop a rule/procedure to prevent issues.) Station 6: CER Writing + Identifying sources of bias or error (Which phone/phone operating system is best?) Station 7: Math in Biology (Practice math skills that will be used in biology) Station 8: Root words in biology (Decode words using root words/prefix/suffix.) Station 9: Is it an animal? (Discuss what makes something an animal and determine whether each organism is classified as an animal or not.) Station 10: Al-ARM-in Similarities (Match the forelimb bones to the correct organism based on prior knowledge of the organisms structures and their structural needs based on their environment; identify species that are likely more closely related based on homologous structures and more similarities.) Station 11: Electron microscopy (Discuss electron images with group members and record possible identification of each image.) #4theT #LetsGrowTogether #EngagingLesson
