Across all of our buildings and classrooms chances are that if you walk into a classroom, you will see a "Bell Ringer" posted or being discussed at the beginning of class.
Bell Ringers are used to engage students in short assignments or assessments, review key concepts that have already been taught, stimulate classroom discussion or used to find misconceptions and misunderstandings students may have before the new lesson starts.
Whether its a number sorting activity in Kindergarten, identifying which words are verbs in 5th grade, asking your partner to make a list of pros and cons to a new school rule in 8th grade or completing a sample math problem at the high school our teachers do a great job of starting class off with Bell Ringers to get our students focused on the learning target for the day.

Biology students have been learning about DNA in class. Students performed a strawberry DNA extraction lab to see what DNA actually looks like.
Many people assume that because DNA is so small, that you can't see it without powerful microscopes. But in fact, DNA can be easily seen with the naked eye when collected from thousands of cells.
Through this lab students were better able to see the DNA of a strawberry and better understand the structure of purpose of DNA.
