It was such a pleasure to help @ncse.bsky.social with the evolution symposium. Always a good time sharing my love of evolution with other science teachers. Better yet was meeting the scientists that made the discoveries I talk about in class!!!! @nabtbio.bsky.social

This has been a fantastic evolution unit. An amazing guest speaker @prosanta.bsky.social and some inquiry labs @ncse.bsky.social have made teaching exciting. I also feel that kids are really having a great time learning!

Yesterday we did the convergent evo lab by @ncse.bsky.social today we build some phylo trees with the same organisms, several of which are in this year’s @mmmletsgo.bsky.social competition!

We just started talking fossils in AP Bio yesterday and I showed a clip with @neilshubin.bsky.social this morning I am cracking open his new book. I can’t wait to learn from him yet again :)

Every high school biology teacher should read Explaining Life Through Evolution by @prosanta.bsky.social Not only will they get a solid understanding of evolution but they will gain a better understanding of how to teach it to kids or even other adults. Well done!

Learning about soil analysis in science club. We can then collect data on our prospective locations for a rain garden upon soil thaw.
