We are so proud of our students and teachers, @Katie_Bragg_MHS @NikkiMinich and Mrs. Durvasula, for their enthusiasm in sharing how students and staff utilize technology daily. Thank you LISD One Vision Task Force for your time! @LewisvilleISD @loridrapp #OneLISD

When science class kills your riddle. Well played science teachers! @NikkiMinich @MHS9th @MarcusMrsD

Mrs. Durvasula’s bio class is learning about the movement of molecules across the cell membrane. It’s the onion 🧅 lab!

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Students drove their mini robots through the matter cycles. Then they shared and discussed the affects of disruptions to the cycles in their short videos. @MHS9th

[Marcus 9 Library @MHS9LIBRARY]

@MarcusMrsD brought her class down to review the Nitrogen and Carbon cycles using Spheros today! #LISDLib #Sphero #STEMeducation #M9RoundingUpTheBest #LISDLearns #OneLISD

Getting ready for rat dissections . So proud of these students - group dissections to help each other learn about body systems. Teamwork @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Field Ecology day. Students calculated amount of carbon sequestered in the trees around Marcus campus and discussed the impacts of deforestation. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Lego evolution fun - Students did an outstanding job of making predictions and making their thinking visible wrt natural selection and gene pool using legos. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Funky farmers showing off the spirit. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Students discussed the limitations of physical modeling as they demonstrated semiconservative DNA replication, and predicted outcomes of mutations using 3D and 2D printed components. Students did a great job documenting their findings. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Students used 3-D printed models to visually explore how structure relates to function and demonstrated the interconnectedness of the photosynthesis and respiration. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Showing our TEAM spirit . @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

The students demonstrated the effect of salt water on the plant cells by applying the principles of cellular transport. Great job with their skills of mounting the samples and investigating. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

The exploration of cell membrane and its properties was a fizzy experience with the bubble lab. So proud of how well the students discussed and shared their findings. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Enzyme puzzles had the students collaborating and discussing metabolic reactions @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

So proud of students as they explored body systems and comparative anatomy with the fetal pig and rat dissections.@MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Students in biology created different models to illustrate the relationships, flow of energy and matter in an ecosystem. Then they predicted impact of ecological forces on the ecosystem. They were surprised with the resilience and sustainability options of ecosystems. @MHS9th

[MHSMrsD @MarcusMrsD]

Students explored plant systems with flower, seed dissections and leaf stomata microscopy @MHS9th
