    I built a scale using Legos a few years ago. If I can’t find it I can build a new one. Mega Blocks gave me a huge donation years ago so I am always trying to figure out ways to use them.

    I haven’t had a lab group old enough, but I have used portions of the documentary. I was fortunate enough to get a free one from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. They have several DVDs related to paleontology that can either be streamed or you can request a hard copy for free. If a high school class wanted to take sections of YIF and modify it…[Read more]

    I would like to be able to voice record notes for later transcription. Again using the gomphothere as an example, I would like to be able to link to museums that have them in their collections with a special asterisks for specimens on display.

    An audible pronunciation guide with phonetic spelling would be amazing as well.

    There could be a…[Read more]

    I do have several verts in my classroom. I now have an articulated human skeleton in my room so I can compare that way as well. I can email the students clips from Your InnerFish where Shubin discusses comparative anatomy.

    @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]

    I would use it as a digital field guide. Would it be possible to have a scale function that you could overlay like those hideous Snapchat filters? Perhaps 2-3 minutes tutorials for when you encounter a situation that is a tad bit difficult. It should have a couple of common first aid instruction cards as well. I remember sitting in the pit at…[Read more]
