Check out my teacher Instagram account to see me attempt a virtual lab experiment with my Chemistry students! https://t.co/6cJgMopJZt

Sharing a success I had today bc I am so proud of my Chem ss! We used Jamboard to collaborate with different groups in the class and to learn about how electricity is produced from the sun, wind, and fossil fuels. Can’t believe we got all this done in 50 mins! #DigitalLearning

Loved my collaboration with @MsMorrissey using @Desmos with my @ChesapeakeHS scientists today. In real time, we got to see where Ss were excelling & where they needed more support. We had 100% participation :)

Wow... we are really doing this thing! Shout out to my AMAZING students for all of their hard work adjusting to this new learning platform. Looking at their awesome notes put a huge smile on my face today!😁 #DigitalLearning #Chemistry

I used BCPS Classflow today for the first time and it went great! It was a fun and interactive way for students to show what they already know about the periodic table and to see some cool topics coming up in Chemistry class! #classflow #chemistry #virtuallearning

So excited for my first week teaching Chemistry!! I can’t wait to utilize all the awesome virtual learning tools that I have been working so hard to create and to meet my students! Covid will not rain on my parade 💪🏼😁🎉 #chemistry #virtualteaching #Excited

Ss in Living Systems saw natural selection in action by hunting for butterflies! #NGSS #inquiry #NaturalSelection

Today may have been my favorite day as a teacher thus far! I got to have my sister that is a pharmacist talk to my students about bacteria, viruses, vaccines, and antibiotic resistance to gear them up for the next unit in Living Systems called “Superbugs.” #NGSS

Ss in Living Systems chose 1 type of mutation to research, and then created a flipgrid video to share with the class. Ss were able to learn about 8 different types of mutations by watching other ss videos posted to @Flipgrid ! #NGSS #DNA #studentcenteredlearning

Ss in Living Systems are using this half day of school to analyze the results of a sunscreen yeast lab they conducted. Ss were able to see that without protection, UV radiation can cause DNA mutations that result in nonfunctional proteins. #NGSS #skincancerawareness #inquiry

Ss in Living Systems are wrapping up Unit 2 today and I wanted to share some of their awesome work! From macromolecules, to photosynthesis, to cellular respiration, students were able to understand what is in the food they eat & how they obtain energy from food! #NGSS #nutrition

[Bridgette Morrissey @MsMorrissey]

Ss in living systems just finished a successful photosynthesis lab! Not only did we learn that plants can work to remove carbon dioxide, but we also learned (by a fluke in the procedures) that some plastic bottled water companies have acidic water! #NGSS #inquiry #cleanwateract

[Bridgette Morrissey @MsMorrissey]

Here is a video of my favorite “Macromolecules Children’s Book” review created by a Living Systems student! It was a tough choice to pick a favorite since my students LOVED this project. #engagement #youarewhatyoueat #NGSS

[Bridgette Morrissey @MsMorrissey]

We had a Friday funday in Living Systems and built proteins and carbohydrates! Ss performed dehydration synthesis to make the macromolecules and then analyzed the number and types of bonds the atoms can make #rigor #youarewhatyoueat #NGSS

[Bridgette Morrissey @MsMorrissey]

Ss in my Living Systems classes were challenged to a breakout box activity today! Each activity had a key to the locks, and in the end, they were surprised with lots of goodies! #engagement #responsiveinstruction #workhardplayhard

[Bridgette Morrissey @MsMorrissey]

@teach_MsTata @MTCummins It’s awesome! I’ll show you tomorrow!

Starting off the week with some mitosis TSGI based on a Plickers formative. I had 5 students email me a funny mitosis meme over the weekend and had to share how much fun we are having with this topic in Living Systems! #sciencerules #NGSS #engagement
