Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are from a high needs district. Despite the many challenges that they face, they are excited and motivated to learn. Their curiosity and excitement make me excited to learn again every day.

My students have not had the opportunity to participate in many labs, so we focus much of our class time on how to complete labs and then how to learn biology from those labs.

The students excel at owning their classroom and at taking responsibility for their education. They allow me to step aside and provide guidance while they take the lead in their learning.

My Project

Everyone has a high school dissection story. The purpose of this project is to give my students their own story.

The frog dissection is a culminating project for these students in their understanding of the principles of life.

My biology students learn how organisms maintain life. They will use these frogs and frog parts to articulate how the frog systems maintained homeostasis. This dissection is an opportunity for these students to take the words, notes, and pictures and make it real.

Most of my students have never completed a dissection. Beyond the understanding of how life systems work together, the students are excited to show how they work together in a classroom. The chance to show that they are responsible and capable makes a simple dissection into a memorable life event.
