Shout out to all the Elite Homo Sapiens that found out that the Homo Naledi may have placed their dead deliberately in caves as a burial site. Give yourself a pat on the back or text your friend Congrats! You got the Bonus Question right. : ) #evolution #Sapiens @BryanCountyMS

We took probability to the next level after learning about traits, pedigrees and punnet squares. Have you ever thought about the genetics of crossing a giraffe and eagle? Giraffe and a turtle? Penguin and a cat? #Hybrids @BryanCountyMS #HaveFun #LearnSomethingNew

Future detectives, FBI agents, and chemists solving the mystery one case at a time! Science is FUN!!! Did we find a the culprit??? @BryanCountyMS #BeUnique #BeBCMS #Genetics

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

An elite group of students participated in a Mystery Case in Science today. After practicing identifying their own fingerprints they dusted the scene of the crime for fingerprints to identify the culprit. #genetics #unique #elite @BryanCountyMS

Alleles and traits! Lots of great questions when learning new vocabulary like dominant and recessive. Hidden traits, what? How can this be? Well let us see... @BryanCountyMS #RecessiveTraits #Heterozygous

Day 2 of Modeling DNA: The challenge make the longest strand of DNA @BryanCountyMS. Here are some of the Elite participants!!! And we did add mutations. #DNA #EdibleGenetics #Coding #mutations

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

Day 1 of Modeling DNA: Scholars are getting closer to understanding the mystery behind how unique we are. It’s all about the base! Base pair matching!! #genetics #mutations @BryanCountyMS

Students had to wrap up our Meiosis Activity today modeling Crossing Over of DNA in Chromosomes. Genetic diversity is complex, but all we needed was a ruler, scissors, paper and some critical thinkers. #genetics #meiosis #chromosomes @BryanCountyMS

A little Chemistry in Clubs! This DIY club wanted to make some slime. @BryanCountyMS

@waddellsworld @dysonchristy5 Oh my..hahahaha

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

Oreo Mitosis was a success!! Our scholars used their creative minds to find great ways to model the Cell Cycle. #PMAT #Elite @BryanCountyMS

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

“What is the semipermeable membrane of a cell?”Students ask. Let’s investigate with gummy bears! Day 2 of our Osmosis Lab #CellBiologist @BryanCountyMS

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

Cells, cells they are made of organelles! I’m going to have to tweet some group photos next week bc my room is covered in lots of amazing cells, lots of them!! But here are a few pics I remembered to take today. #cells #CellBiologist #projects @BryanCountyMS

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

I’ve taken on a class pet, exhibit A, guinea pig. When they were done with their activity, students could hold Mr. Willoughby. So they finished their assignment 3x faster and this happened! #teamwork #courteous #BeBCMS #soProud #PBIS @BryanCountyMS

How is it possible that the carbon contained in chalk could possibly have originated from the respiration of a dinosaur living during the Jurassic Period?? #CarbonCycle #Respiration @BryanCountyMS

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

Our ecologist are examining the different affects evaporation has on the water cycle! #YouBeTheEcologist #BeBCMS @BryanCountyMS

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

Our young Ecologist chose their favorite Biome and were challenged to be as creative as possibly with the supplies we had in class. This class knocked it out of the ball park. #minibiome #YouBeTheEcologist #BeBCMS @BryanCountyMS

[Melissa Tedder @MrsTedderBCMS]

We had a great day outside in Life Science as our scholars transformed into Ecologist with an observation lab of our local ecosystem! #YouBeTheEcologist @BryanCountyMS
