At United South Central, Ms. Meyer’s Biology class is doing more than just memorizing terms. They’re diving into science through collaboration and critical thinking. Students are working together to explore key biological topics, from genetics and ecosystems to cell structures and human anatomy. By engaging in group discussions, labs, and hands-on activities, they are learning how to ask questions, find answers, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
Ms. Meyer’s approach emphasizes student interaction and real-world application. Rather than relying solely on textbooks, her classroom is filled with dynamic conversations, cooperative projects, and problem-solving tasks that make science come alive. Her goal is to help students become well-informed, thoughtful learners who can apply what they’ve learned both in and out of the classroom.
This focus on collaboration not only deepens understanding, but also helps students build essential skills like communication, teamwork, and critical thinking. Whether they're investigating how energy flows through a food web or discussing the implications of genetic engineering, students in Ms. Meyer’s class are developing a stronger grasp of biology and a greater appreciation for the world around them.
