This forces students to use scientific principles and experiments to try to solve a murder mystery - seems like this could be a really fun project, especially around Halloween!]]> 2022-09-24 18:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311762371 mtaylor6082 https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311765702 2022-09-24 19:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311765702 mtaylor6082 https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311768259 Some of these might be a little advanced for high school, but these models are really helpful for understanding some more difficult biological concepts. ]]> 2022-09-24 19:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311768259 mtaylor6082 https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311769061 2022-09-24 19:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311769061 mtaylor6082 https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311770100 I haven't finished going through all of these yet, but there are a ton of great resources in here for online biology learning!]]> 2022-09-24 19:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311770100 mtaylor6082 https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311858167 One experiment I remember from Freshmen biology was when my teacher sent us out in groups of two to swab what we thought would be the germiest part of the school and then we grew bacteria cultures from that. It was actually really interesting to compare what we assumed would be gross and full of bacteria versus which swabs actually grew the most bacteria cultures. ]]> 2022-09-24 22:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mtaylor6082/mibpep0gf6cjtnnt/wish/2311858167
