I have not featured it much on this site, but I do so love using “big questions” as tools for differentiation. Learners at different levels can answer them in different ways and the possibilities for exploration are often endless. This is certainly true of the question this biology teacher posed to students: “What is life?”
This blog about teaching biology to non-majors is written for teachers of post-secondary students, but all science teachers will love the activity ideas and reflective posts.
