Let's talk labs! How do you find time to work labs into your schedule and still master the material before the EOC?

I like to do the labs as an intro lesson, then you can refer back to it as you explain the concept being taught. Or as an evaluation type lesson

I try to make sure the lab is relevant to the material and not just for fun. Fun stuff comes after the end of year tests.

Are you on block schedule too? I am, and getting my content done is so difficult. I do mini labs, not long ones, just to demonstrate the content. We also have scheduled reading a day a week for 30 mins!!! That makes it twice as hard to do labs!! Next year, we will also be doing writing once a week

Cool idea. Never thought of doing them as an intro.

I do them as an intro or outro lesson generally. However, this year we had so many snow days - I'm struggling to just get through content before state tests!!

I feel your pain. Getting everything done before state tests is hard enough without glitches.

I hear you on having to be an English teacher too! We have to do writing and reading comprehension assignments once a week! I have students who don’t know what a cell or an atom is when they come to me! I have to go backwards before I can go forward. And they expect you to work miracles with them by the time they take their STAAR tests in May. What did the Elementary and JH teachers do when they had them??? Obviously, not very much... just pass them on. Now we have to do their jobs too! Yes, I’m already frustrated and the school year has just begun!

I really try hard to do a lab at least once a week even if it’s just a quick lab. We don’t have an EOC for my course so I guess I’m super lucky there. But keeping up with the curriculum pace is hard. I find my students have deficits that surprise me sometimes. Especially with Covid. I hope that will improve. Lab experiences are so important.

I will be teaching Biology 9 and Anatomy and Physiology in the fall at a new school. I am in search of recommendations on a good lab manual for both classes. I would like a manual that has a thorough teacher edition and includes a good variety of labs that are appropriate for all learning levels.

Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

For AP or honors teachers, is it a teacher’s job to filter who gets into the class if there are already set district expectations about course pathways? I’m tired of counselors sending students to me asking to take an AP class in 10th grade when the expectation is that all students take the general course in 10th grade and are allowed to take the AP class in their 11th or 12th grade year. I feel like that decision is not mine to make anymore and I don’t want to make it anyway.
