High School Biology Sub Plans, Week Long Emergency Sub Plans, No Prep, 5 Days, 64 Pages

Out for a week? Every biology period is planned, Monday to Friday. These science sub plans give your substitute five days of biology review, one set per day for every period, ready as emergency sub plans, long term sub plans or a no prep sub binder for high school science. Each set is science sub work with a reading, practice and a challenge on cells, cell energy, DNA, evolution and body systems, plus team tasks, optional review games, early finisher puzzles and answer keys, so a sub with no science background can run it. No tech needed. Print and go for a planned absence, a sub tub, a substitute teacher binder, or emergency lesson plans on a sick day.

Perfect For

• A full week out: sick leave, a conference, jury duty, a family emergency
• A sub who does not know your subject or your class
• Teachers with several Biology sections: one set covers every period that day
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it
• Long term subs who need a first week that runs itself

How It Works

1. Print the binder and leave it on your desk. The week plan on page 4 is already filled in, with page numbers and minutes for every set.
2. Monday’s set runs in every period you teach on Monday, Tuesday’s set on Tuesday, and so on. The calm puzzle fits any gap, the team task fills a block period, and the game is optional fun for the last 15 minutes.
3. Every set stands alone, so the plan is only a sample order: swap sets between days, or use one with another class when it fits. Each set opens with a line that says what it reviews.
4. Every answer is in the key, so the sub needs no subject knowledge.
5. Prefer your own order? A blank weekly schedule is included.

What’s Inside: 64 Pages

• A sub binder front section: a note to the substitute, the week plan already filled in Monday to Friday with page numbers, a blank weekly schedule, class list and dismissal, a “how it went” sheet, and a Monday opener (Meet Your Sub)
• Biology set 1, Biochemistry and Cell Structure: reviews the four macromolecules, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, labeling a plant cell, organelle jobs, diffusion and active transport, osmosis
• Biology set 2, Cell Energy: reviews ATP and ADP, the photosynthesis and respiration equations, comparing the two processes, fermentation, a light and oxygen bubble experiment
• Biology set 3, DNA, Protein Synthesis and Mutations: reviews DNA base pairing, transcription and translation with a codon table, silent, missense, nonsense and frameshift mutations, sickle cell
• Biology set 4, Evolution and Classification: reviews the four conditions of natural selection, evidence for evolution, the eight taxonomy levels, scientific names, cladograms, a dichotomous key
• Biology set 5, Human Body Systems: reviews levels of organization, organ system jobs, homeostasis, negative and positive feedback, insulin and glucagon, heart rate data after exercise
• Biology team tasks, one per day (about 40 minutes, groups of four): From Atom to Biosphere; The Blood Bank Shift; The Paper Double Helix; The Evolution Hall; The Mosquito Release
• Optional Biology games for the last 15 minutes, a fun way to end the class or something for extra time, with biology questions for grades 9 to 12: Whiteboard Quiz Game; Paper Password; Class Feud; Classroom Millionaire; Mystery Box
• Calm puzzles and reset sheets for early finishers or a loud moment: Word Search and Reset Sheet; Sudoku and Grounding Sheet; Secret Codes and Control Sheet; Maze and Brain Dump; Word Ladders and Three Good Things
