GETCA 2025

Biology is engaging and filled with amazing content but tends to be heavily focused on delivery of knowledge instead of fostering deeper understandings. In our session we will share some of the manipulative activities we use to help students construct their own understanding; shifting away from the memorizing of facts and towards explaining the 'why'. Concepts covered include: plants, classification/taxonomy, cells, evolution, biochemistry/cell processes, protein synthesis, mitosis and meiosis and more. All activities will be shared; come explore and take away a new activity to use in class!
