Apologia Biology: Module Three

Two of the kids were out; the two remaining girls drew sketches of a variety of bacteria, protozoans, and other pond life.  They also worked on their book.  The class is creating a children's book on pandas, polar bears, and penguins.  We all took a stab at sketching cartoon animals.  The girls completed the POGIL Prokaryote and Eukaryotes activity packets and reviewed the answers together.  (Here is a copy of an answer key.). All this took time!  The last forty minutes of class, the girls worked on preparing a lesson on infectious diseases using this guide from the CDC.  They are going to create a lesson on their blogs to deliver next week to my Anatomy class.  Fun, right? The kids are selecting interesting diseases to research and teach.  It's another subversive method to get them to instruct themselves.  Oh yes!  I corrected their reports from the 'Swiss Cheese' activity two weeks ago, just to add a little technical writing.  We had a little informal conference regarding corrections.  Isn't great how much you can accomplish when you home-school?
