For the past 21 years, I have been teaching high school science, from environmental and earth science to college prep, honors, and Advanced Placement biology. During my first 15 years as an educator, I taught science based on how I was taught when I was a student: students read the chapter, I would review and provide additional information through a lecture and PowerPoint, students took a quiz, we reviewed the end of chapter questions, and students took a multiple-choice test—rinse and repeat, u
