Biology Case Files

Every unit is a mystery to solve

Teach the whole unit, without the lecture. Each case covers the curriculum day by day, but students learn it by working the evidence, not by taking notes. You're free to sit beside them and listen to how they think.

Escape Rooms: one-day companions to the cases

Mr. P, creator of The Science Scaffold

About

Hi, I'm Mr. P.

I've taught middle and high school science in New York City public schools for 20 years. Every classroom holds a different mix of learners, and every lesson starts with them.

The best information comes from conferencing one-on-one with students. Hearing how they think tells me more than any test. Every resource I designed is built to create that kind of classroom: structured so students can work independently, which frees me to sit down beside them and help.
