Actually got through the artificial selection lab this year in #apbio !Just finished measuring cotyledon width of the second generation. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Did our first @breakoutEDU in #apbio today. It was a big hit and a great review! #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with goldfish in #APBio today. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Looking at magnetic fields and testing magnet strength in physical science today. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

@EdTechRanger @LCS_christian True, and I can’t complain about not having to stain and de-stain the gel! =)

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Crime scene in #apbio. Accidentally bought the kit with dyes instead of DNA, but Ss still loved it. It also helped that one of the suspects kept popping in to say she didn’t do it. Love my colleagues @LCS_christian ! #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Electrical circuits in physical science today with foil and
Christmas lights. I told them to make it interesting, and they took me seriously. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Newton’s 3rd Law in Physical Science. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Working on operon models in #apbio today. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Students in #apbio checked out their replated transformed bacteria today. Then started stop-motion animations of replication, transcription, and translation. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

pGLO transformation lab today in #apbio Won’t let myself peek until they get back to class tomorrow. #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Saturday mornings—time to go into school to get ready for the pGLO transformation lab in #apbio Hoping for great transformation rates! #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

@BetweenDesks Will do!

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Started artificial selection lab in #apbio both sets are under different plant lights, curious to see if there’s a difference in growth #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Playing with 3D molecular models in preparation for Ss to make stop motion animations after break and then tested the sous vide to use as a water bath for the pGlo lab in #apbio #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Walked through DNA replication (with a stand of DNA the length of our room, Ss then described it with chalk markers, and finally onto DNA extraction from 5 fruits and 1 veggie. #apbio #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

Trying to have more lab practical type questions on physical science tests...so the tests take up more room and some clean up is involved =). #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

More mini-poster lab reports in #apbio #teach180

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

@MsVanValen I did—it’s now copied to my cell cycle folder in Drive. =) There are so many activities available through HHMI that it helps to see what other people are doing instead of being overwhelmed with the breadth of what is available. Thanks!

[Jen Winne @biobythemathmom]

@MsVanValen This looks great. I just put it on my list to do next year when we get to the cell cycle in AP Bio.
