Orange Julius

-


I was reading my favorite blogs and I came across one of my favorite recipes.  It is from the blog:
http://www.theidearoom.net

Today I would like to share with you my son’s recipe for Orange Julius.  He loves to bake and be in the kitchen.  He has even expressed a desire to start his own recipe blog, which I think would be a lot of fun for him.

     He is also taking a required Home and Family Class at school and is right in the middle of the cooking portion of the curriculum.  He came home from school really excited about the Orange Julius he had made earlier that day, and asked if he could make it for us as an after school snack.  Ummm…yes please!
It was delicious!  And since he is a reader of my blog, I thought it would be fun to post his yummy recipe here to share with all of you.  This recipe tastes just like the real Orange Julius they used to have in the mall when I was his age.
Orange Julius
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar AND 1/4  cup powdered sugar
sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 ice cubes
1. Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in blender.
2. Blend for about 1-2 minutes and then add ice cubes one at a time.

 Didn’t he do a great job?  Yum!

 Thanks to the Idea Room...time to make an orange Julius...

Modeling Mitosis with Oreo Cookies 1e: Designing Coherent Instruction

Oreo Cookie Mitosis The problem was: What do I do with the students the day before Winter Recess? We were about to finish the Reproduction and Development Unit but needed one or two days of review before the test.  I know a lot of teachers like to show a video but the way I see it you are essentially telling the students that "today isn't an important day, you aren't important to me, let's just take it easy." I was looking for a fun activity that would help the students review and would entertain them and keep them out of trouble for 40 minutes.  For whatever reason I ended up googling: Mitosis Cookies and found resources and ideas on the following websites: www.paec.org www.alopategui.com www.teacherweb.com www.amphi.com I then took parts from each site and created this handout for my 9th grade Biology students:  Click here for the handout oreo cookies provided by students They brought in plenty of c...

Ugly Sweaters and Vocabulary Review

So I was reading this blog yesterday http://www.meandmyinklings.com/index.php/2014/11/24/ugly-sweater-garland-with-free-printable/ and saw this cute holiday decoration where you cut out and color paper decorations of ugly sweaters (like the ugly Christmas sweaters that my mom used to wear in the 1980's) and thought it would be fun to do with my students..with a twist.          ​ So each student gets a handout that asks them to design and color an ugly sweater that is based on a vocabulary term that we have used in class this year. Can you guess the Vocabulary word I used for the example?       yep...photosynthesis. You can get the FREE handout at my Teachers Pay Teachers page... https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Amy-Balling/Order:Most-Recently-Posted#seller_details_tabs Enjoy! and Happy Holidays!

Interactive Notebook in the high school biology classroom

I know it's summer "vacation" but teachers never stop working or thinking about their classrooms. Every school year is a fresh start and a chance to revamp the way you have done things in the past. I love that I have that opportunity every year. For the past couple years we have used some "Brain Breaks" interactive notebook activities that I had created. They worked really well to help the students review what they were learning in class and I've wanted to expand on that this year. Back in the spring I came across Lee Ferguson and I was inspired by the Interactive notebooks that her AP Bio students create. I highly recommend that at some point this summer you go to her website and check it out. There are some amazing resources and ideas on her site . Lee Ferguson interactive notebooks in AP Bio Before you go to her site, let me show you what I have been doing. I have a belief that as a teacher if I am going to expect my students to do something...
