Plants in a Bottle

Funded Nov 22, 2022

We are so grateful for the Plants in a Bottle and Taste Blind kits from Science Take-Out, as well as the personal whiteboards and markers. The materials came when we started our genetics unit in biology, and we used Taste Blind as our launching activity. Students were actively engaged and it was fun for them to experience the science behind our ability to taste! Using this experience provided students with a real-world example they could relate to when we studied inheritance of traits. Students used the whiteboards for drawing Punnett squares to practice genetic crosses. This immediately increased the level of student engagement and allowed for me to easily check for understanding. A big thank you from all of my students for helping to provide an enriched experience in the science classroom!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Gosnell
