6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoThanks @llundgren for the summary, and @taorminalepore for the great overview of the skull anatomy terms!
Like Lisa wrote in her summary, I wondered what a “sister group” means? It had been a while since my college evolutionary biology classes, so I did some Googling to review and found a great, short phylogeny overview from UC Berkeley,…[Read more]

6 years, 11 months ago6 years, 11 months ago@llundgren, @jeanette-pirlo, @jbokor, @kate-griener – I have a group of 6 fifth and sixth graders that are all girls so we kind of have a WISE group of our own. I teach it in a way that touches their imaginations. I know that there is controversy surrounded the idea of learning styles, but I still get amazing successes by getting the kids out of…[Read more]

Also, Sean updated the horse cards for lesson three and included a bit more information. I have…[Read more]

7 years, 1 month ago7 years, 1 month agoHello @bmacfadden, @jbokor, @cgrant, @smoran, @llundgren.
Well, after 3 months of 3D printing I have completed preparing 16 sets of the 15 teeth for the horse project. We have two simultaneous classes of 8th graders, about 30 students in each, and 8 total classes for the day (between two teachers). Grand total… 240 teeth. I taught my fellow…[Read more]

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months ago@jbokor Yes, WISE groups at the HS level would be awesome. I wonder if this is something that can be done? The UF WISE group is pretty strong, it’d probably be able to pilot it?…We have some Gainesville teachers affiliated with FLMNH (right, @jeanette-pirlo ?)
Great to know that there are TED Talks worksheets! I bet they could serve as a m…[Read more]

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months agoCool idea, @michelle-barboza! I wonder if some members in our high school teacher cohort on myFOSSIL would have any ideas/recommendations? (See Michelle’s post above) @dellingson, @jbroo, @jbokor, @jayson-kowinsky, @dbutler, @cindy-kern, @deborah-kravchuk, @mary-spilman
And personally, I think middle school girls would benefit from this too!…[Read more]

7 years, 7 months ago7 years, 7 months ago@denise-porcello about how long is the book? I’m wondering if GABI RET teachers or UF CPET teachers would be able to use it in their classrooms. This could be a great way to integrate literacy standards into a science class.
@jbokor, tag a CPET participant you think coould use this in their classroom!

One was the 3D printed fossil horse teeth lesson. @jbokor and @smoran have implemented this lesson in a bunch of classrooms. Julie, @jbroo and Jess Mahoney wrote a paper about it, which is linked here on the myFOSSIL website.…[Read more]
