We took the best group of @BarringtonHS220 Ss on the adventure of a lifetime to Belize! We conquered the country from the jungle to the Carribean Sea learning about the fragile ecosystems that scientists are battling to save! We were lucky to play a small part! @barrington220

It has been a busy week in AP Biology! Ss studying for the AP exam but also caring for our new chicken hatchlings!

So much learning and review of poultry anatomy, embryology, physiology, animal behavior, and more!

TY to @KellyHansen98 and @220Science for supporting us!

Ss in the BHS G.E.M science class are hard at work setting up their experiments! From the chemistry of the hair care industry, to measuring Daphnia heart rates, to observing radioactive decay….we have it covered! #ownyourlearning @BarringtonHS220 @DrMelissaByrne @BHS_Principal

Ss in #APBio spent the last three days creating models showing digestion at the molecular level. Ss all had a part of the digestive process and today they taught each other. #studentownership #studentsteachingstudents

Always amazing to see former #APBio Ss surprise us and drop in on office hours (@ 7:55am!) before a test to help current students prepare! Ss learning from each other is powerful to watch! #molecularlevel #powerofthewhiteboard @BarringtonHS220 @barrington220

Another busy day in #FlexScience. PCR to amplify DNA samples in prep for gel electrophoresis tomorrow. Using DNA evidence to solve the crime of missing Missy Baker using actual tech from real crime labs! #investigatebiotech #discoveryourpassion @BarringtonHS220 @DrMelissaByrne

[Laura Turngren @LTurngren]

Ss in #FlexibleScience busy collecting data & building models for their indep. learning projects always relating the learning back to their driving questions! I love the sound of controlled chaos with A LOT happening in & out of the classroom! @BarringtonHS220 @DrMelissaByrne

These students ⁦@BarringtonHS220⁩ are so impressive! They wrote and illustrated a book to encourage young female students to get involved in STEM & robotics club. To learn more, tune in to my next Supt. report at the October 3rd board meeting. ⁦@barrington220⁩
