Planning+Part+2

One of the keys to being an effective science teacher is the ability to plan on a global level, with the vision to design and implement entire units. Your assignment is to design a 10-12 day unit based on your textbook chapter (or, if you're a PDS student or intern, a unit you taught this semester in your clinical experience). Use the template provided to complete your assignment.



Student Work (Part 2):
**Alisha Jones**- The Unit Plan Part II is the unit I taught at U-High this semester. It is over the Kingdom Animalia: Phylum Platyhelmintes, Molluscs, and Annelids.

**Kari Koppers**-This Unit Plan Part II is over the Cell Structure and Function Unit I taught at University High School this semester. It is designed for a freshman biology I class.

Leslie Garcia- This Unit Plan Part II is over Cell organelles, DNA and Chromosomes that I taught part of at my PDS school earlier this semester. **Janelle Czapar** - This Unit Plan is over the Biochemistry unit from the freshman biology course at my PDS school earlier this semester.

Kira Hedrich- This unit plan is over Evolution of Populations unit for a Freshmen biology course. This will be taught next semester at my PDS Site.

**Julie Massanisso -** This Unit Plan Part II is on mitosis and meiosis that I taught part of at my PDS site earlier this semester. This unit plan covers a 10-12 day span. This unit plan was designed for high school freshman in an introductory biology course.

Laura Zehr - This Unit Plan Part II was for the Ecology Unit I taught at my PDS site this semester. The unit was for a freshman biology class; the unit was 15 days long.

**Jennifer Williams-** This unit plan is over cellular respiration and is to be used at the freshman level. This unit is not very long (it's only about 20 pages in the textbook), therefore this unit will be only taught over 10 days, including the unit exam on the 10th day.

**Diane Coughlin-** This is a portion of a unit plan for the Human Genome unit. It address different instructional and assessment methods which could be used for the different objections, the lab skills and literacy skills which are addressed in the unit, and a short description for each day of the unit and the objectives covered.

**Laura Sedivy** - This is the second portion of my unit plan for a classification unit. It includes the teaching strategies and assessment strategies for each objective. Science literacy skills addressed during the unit are also included as well as a unit plan overview.

**Steve White-** This is the second part of my unit plan on ecology. It includes different teaching and assessment strategies for each individual objective. Science literacy skills and lab skills are both addresssed. It also includes an overview of the unit.

**Connor Downs -** This is the unit plan I developed on Ch. 15 and 16 of the environmental science book I worked on over this past semester. It covers some of the human impacts and effects that happen to freshwater and oceanic environments, and also covers some of the preventative and removal processes we can go through to help these systems out. The regular .doc format saved funny so i also put in a .txt format just in case the .doc opens up funny like it did for me. Either way here are both formats

**Taylor Farnetti-** This is the second part of my unit plan on DNA and RNA from the text. I included a bunch of different teaching and assessment strategies. I included strategies to really concentrate on hands on/audio/ and visual learners. This includes science literacy skills and an overview of the unit.

Emily Matko - This is the second part of a unit plan covering Chapter 10 DNA and Protein Synthesis. Main ideas discussed in this chapter are DNA/RNA structure/function, DNA replication, transcription, genetic code, and translation.


 * Jill Wojtanowicz**- This unit plan is based off of a unit which I co-taught with my CT at EPHS. This unit is about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.


 * Kevin Pavesic-** This unit plan is for the genetics chapter that I was given at the begining of class. There are many different teaching and assessment strategies used.
