@ace_schwarz222 This is one of the things I have been working on in my classroom this year. I love “folks!” Thanks for the idea! I’ve been using “everyone” but folks seems more personal while still inclusive.

First lab of the year! Feels so good to be back in the lab with my students! 💙#APBio #FHS_Science

We also have some new guppy friends in room 201. An awesome student brought them in for us to have some new class let’s. So excited to watch them grow! They will be getting some new plants in their tank this week too! So much life happening in room 201!

Waggle dance is a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee. By performing this dance, successful foragers can share information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen or water sources https://t.co/znRWEle4YW

Two baby eggplants have started growing in room 201! Some artificial fertilization had to take place using a pipe cleaner since bees are not welcome in the classroom. Let’s hope we get some more & these grow well!

Some new inhabitants to keep Kevin the cockroach company. 5 new MHCs in room 201.

Can my bio students figure out who stole John’s iPhone in this organic compounds mystery lab? They will need to use lab skills and their knowledge of organic molecules to catch the robber! #FHSScience

[Ms. Pedersen 🔬🦈 @MsP_SciNerd]

Will these carrots gain or lose mass? Will #APBio students be able to figure out the molarities of the solutions? Great lab setup today!

The best lab of the year in #APBio. The cell membrane bubble lab! So much fun! #scienceisfun

Kindergarten scientists learned about the different weather in each season and then made books showing what they would wear in that weather. @Fairhaven_PS

CP Bio testing different population densities and distributions against density dependent & density independent limiting factors. They did a great job! @FHS_Science1

Marble runs were amazing in 5th today! They worked to get just the right angles and even made the marble jump! @Fairhaven_PS

[Jennifer Perrotti @jperrotti_efs]

This team worked so hard and kept adjusting several times after this marble wouldn’t stay in the track! Mistakes are so valuable! @Fairhaven_PS
