We will discuss pacing and unit planning to assist those adapting to the new biology standards. Our focus will be on inquiry-based lessons in experimental design and evolution, highlighting the use of models, questioning techniques, and data analysis. We'll offer engaging activities and opportunities to collaborate with fellow biology educators to share implementation strategies for the new standards.
