Kahoot -- Best Quiz Generating Game

Especially if you have older students, it can be particularly dull when it comes time to review for the unit exam.  You pull up a PowerPoint, set up stations, or hand over a study guide and say, "Get to work." When it comes time for final exams, it feels even worse because you have them study day after day.  One of my big theories as a teacher: if I'm bored, they're definitely bored.

I found an awesome game that my students just loved, called Kahoot!
Proof that it holds the attention of 9th graders:

The Biology of Thanksgiving

This was a great lesson that I shared with my students on Friday about all the biology that coincides with how well your Thanksgiving food will taste as well as how to make sure to don't die from it as well.  It was created by a friend of mine and I'm happy to share it with you, too!

Biology Blog

I was looking for more classroom ideas and stumbled upon this fun biology blog, Beatrice the Biologist. You can check out her website by clicking here.  I love the illustrations and hope to incorporate some into the classroom.  If you understand/remember anything from your biology days, here are a few for some laughs.  I found myself giggling at the screen.  These are all c/o beatricebiologist.com
