Grizzly Bears

Real Science Teaching. Real Classroom Experience.

I’m Amy Brown, a veteran high school biology and chemistry teacher, wife, and mom who understands the daily reality of lesson planning, grading, meetings, and everything in between. I know what it feels like to have too much to do and not enough time to do it.

After decades in the classroom, I’ve created rigorous, classroom-tested biology and chemistry resources that save you planning time while still delivering strong, meaningful science instruction. Every lab, activity, and lesson is designed to move students beyond memorization and into real scientific thinking.

If you want your students excited about science and thinking deeply without spending your entire weekend planning, you’re in the right place.

“I just love getting kids hooked on science.”

Grizzly Bears

Well, my Spring Break is almost to an end. I am rested and looking forward to returning to school on Monday. My students and I will spend the remainder of the school year on a mad dash toward May 14..... the date of the AP Biology exam! I will end this week with the last of the photos from our zoo trip. Next week, I will be back to posting about what is going on in the biology/chemistry classroom.

One of the newest areas in our zoo is called "Northwest Passage." This area houses the polar bears, elk, wolves, etc. But one of the most amazing sections is the Grizzly Bear enclosure. First of the all, the area in which they can run and play is huge. It starts with a huge waterfall at one end, and a stream/river runs the entire length. The stream is stocked with live fish! The bears spend much of their time playing in the water and fishing! It is amazing to watch as they stalk and catch a fish. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
