Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: https://t.co/80nPrNSTaG via @donorschoose
With your help, my students will be able to carry out an immunology experiment to help them understand how #proteinsynthesis and #antibodies work!

Finishing up the digestive system experiments and preparing for next week's presentations! Which #macromolecules does the mouth, stomach and small intestine digest?

[Kate Cilluffo @CilluffoKate]

Finishing up testing junk food for lipids and starting work on version 2 of our models. This time students will use #evidence gathered from their experiments!

[Kate Cilluffo @CilluffoKate]

Students designed their own experiments and tested their favorite food for starch. Taking pride in their own inquiry projects and collecting data to update their models.

Students assembling #monosaccharides and #polysaccharides to help them visualize biological molecules. This activity will help them design experiments to test for these molecules and gather #evidence for their #sciencemodels

This project will help my students understand how the immune system works and the benefits of vaccines!

After spending a few days learning about #scientificmodels we finally spent today generating our initial models about what happens to food after we eat it.

Today is #EarthOvershootDay 2021 - the day humans have surpassed what global resources can sustain in a single year.

The date is almost as early as 2019, after being pushed back in 2020 by COVID-19.

We need solutions to #MoveTheDate - and they exist: https://t.co/ZwrnZs6Mo7

The first weeks of the new school year are crucial for restoring connection and laying a foundation for communal wellbeing.

I am so excited to incorporate some #Immunology from my #AAITeacherFellowship into my classroom next year #TeacherTwitterPDI
