Hi Michelle! I totally agree with you, classification can be a drag. Here is one activity I've done that helps spice it up a bit: http://teachingsciencerocks.weebly.com/blog/what-do-i-do-with-these-preserved-specimens

I think my least favorite topic to teach is usually the history behind the atom. Its nice to know the scientist but students get the names and experiments confused.

my LEAST favorite topic to teach is Protein Synthesis because the kiddos in 8th grade have such a hard time grasping the concept. If I win I'm going to download your tpt info on protein synthesis it looks like fun!

Cell respiration! Ugh...only because getting the kids to understand the complexity of the reactions - they just get lost.

Reply
Becca

I 100% agree with you! Photosynthesis and respiration are my least favorite as well. I made these flip books that might help. I find them to be a "happy medium" between the basics of just teaching the equation and complexity of all the steps. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cellular-Respiration-Flip-Book-3088498

I feel your pain Andrew. It's not only hard to teach them all but students struggle with understanding how they work together. I created this lesson and it has helped my students a lot- check it out! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cell-Organelle-Puzzle-Pieces-2280631
