This power point and graphic organizer fold out foldable can be taught together. Students will have a short review of mitosis and cover vocabulary specific to meiosis.
Next the students go over crossing over using terms such as sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, synapsis, tetrad, chiasmata. If you teach AP Biology it is great for review.
The detailed meiotic steps also discuss what is happening with the quantity of genetic material and each phase of meiosis is detailed.
Genetic expression is influenced by internal and external stimulus. After covering genetics this Quest power point is a great way to assess your students understanding of the two. There are fifteen authentic scenarios for students to discuss and determine the genetic expression cause. Some of the questions are historical. This is a good activity to follow up genetic expression to make sure your students understand the difference between internal and external stimulus. You can pair the students, use it as a flipped classroom assignment or turn it into a full class discussion. Answer sheet and key is included.
Quest power points ask the students questions. They do not present information instead the scenarios are designed to assess how well the students understand biological concepts.

POWER POINT
The population genetics power point covers the mechanisms of how species evolve over time. It begins with an overview of Hardy-Weinberg and then delves into genetic flow, genetic drift, bottleneck effect, founder's effect, the types of selection, the types of isolation and the types of speciation.
The power point is filled with examples of the mechanisms and pictures, graphs and charts to help emphasize the concepts.
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER FOLD-OUT FOLDABLE
The population genetics graphic organizer prompts students to write about the mechanisms of how species evolve over time. It has compartments for Hardy-Weinberg and then delves into genetic flow, genetic drift, bottleneck effect, founder's effect, the types of selection, the types of isolation and the types of speciation.
There are visual prompts to help students remember the differences between the topics. Easily fits into a composition notebook or spiral ring notebook. Works great with interactive notebooks. A detailed teacher's key is included.
The concepts are heavy within population genetics so I would advise to chunk the information up into segments instead of teaching them all the way through in one day.
A edgy take on lab safety and equipment review. Many times we repeat the same lab safety and equipment reviews every year. Make it creepy with the Asylum Lab Safety and Equipment Memory game. The students will need to match 25 pairs of cards. One card has a description and the students need to match it with a picture or explanation. The game allows the students to continuously review lab safety and equipment while having fun and being competitive.
The cards are square and saved as a pdf. By adjusting your page count per printed page you can adjust the size of your cards. I suggest laminating them and keeping them year after year. I use one set per lab table. You can have the students compete within a single table or between groups.
The Cell Transport Processes covered in this power point and worksheet bundle are diffusion, passive transport, osmosis: hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis.
