@burgessdave One my favorite take aways from the book Teach Like a Pirate is asking where is the best place to teach this lesson. The answer is almost never in “inside my classroom”. Taught a genetics lesson yesterday from a llama farm! Silver-lining from virtual learning! #tlap

Grateful that our Schenectady HS teacher-partners made time to speak to our Noyce scholars at the urban round table today. Thank you! @feguerl you are STEMtacular!

STANYS Eastern Section Members: We will be hosting a coffee chat/meeting Wednesday evening at 7pm for about 45 minutes. Please join in! The topic is "How can our section support you?" Look for an email from the Eastern Section with the link. See you there! @STANYSorg

Grateful for amazing and generous people who give their time for a PHENOMenal Friday! Dave, a Park Ranger with the Carlsbad, NM National Park spoke to our 9th grade Biology students about cave organisms and ecology. He inspired a lot of future spelunkers! @SCSchools

Our first PHENOMenal Friday back from break! Thank you Via Aquarium and aquarist Julie for helping us better understand the Nitrogen cycle! Our 9th grade biology students learned about maintaining an aquarium and how to become an aquarist. @SCSchools #PHENOMenalFriday

This week’s Friday was truly PHENOMenal! Urban Ecology Pt2 on Peebles Island. Have you seen the Bald Eagle family? @SCSchools Bio 9 students did, soaring over head. Great talk on nature reclaiming a space, Peebles is a great example. #distancelearning

Late to post, but last week we took our students on a virtual tour of the Biotech Lab at SUNY-Sch’dy and learned about how they are using PCR and DNA sequencing to identify invasive species in Vale Park. Urban ecology! Thanks Dr Harris and Elizabeth! @SCSchools #distancelearning

Freezing PHENOMenal Friday! This week we were back in Schenectady exploring how cold-blooded animals survive the winter. @SCSchools #bio9crew

[leigh feguer @feguerl]

@SCSchools -PHENOMenal Friday looked a little different this week with a Halloween Mystery solved with SCIENCE! Macromolecule Indicators to the rescue. 9th grade biology students crushed this lesson! Well done. #bio9crew, #distancelearning

Would indeed be ironic if Donald Trump lost the presidential election by a margin of votes equal to the number of his supporters who died from COVID-19, for having refused to wear masks in public.

PHENOMenal FRIDAY fun!!! I can’t believe how fortunate we are that we can share with the biology students in Schenectady these amazing adventures. Huge thank you goes out to Elaine at Woodland Meadow Farm for sharing her alpacas with us. #DistanceLearning #wegotthis #bio9crew

[Schenectady Schools @SCSchools]

➡️ 📹 Each week SHS 9th grade Biology students take a #DistanceLearning field trip to study a scientific phenomenon "in the wild". In this case that meant actual wild animals!🦙🦙

[leigh feguer @feguerl]

This week’s PHENOMenal Friday! Alpacas... with Elaine Gerber from Woodland Meadow Farms was wonderful enough to introduce our students to these unique animals. She will be seen speaking on other videos, but we all learned so much!

[Schenectady Schools @SCSchools]

Nearly 600 9th graders from SHS will attend this #distancelearning field trip during Biology class today. Why are 🦙🦙🦙important to us? We learned that they are being studied for their immunity to coronaviruses! 🦠

[leigh feguer @feguerl]

This week’s #PHENOMenalFRIDAY live lesson was unBEElievable! We were with Adam from Blue Door Apiary to learn about honey bees and the important role they play in our environment #bio9crew streaming live, on location. #schenectadystrong @SCSchools

[Schenectady Schools @SCSchools]

🐝🐝 Buzz Buzz. Check out this #DistanceLearning lesson from the SHS Bio9 Crew. They visited Blue Doors Apiary in Ballston Spa to learn all about pollination and honeybees. #SchenectadyStrong

[leigh feguer @feguerl]

@SCSchools what do we do on day 2 without power at school and our kids are asking for our on-location lesson? We teach science from an apple orchard and record it so every one of our sch’dy kids gets to see. Thank you Fo’Castle! #PHENOMenalfriday, #bio9crew, #strongertogether

[leigh feguer @feguerl]

Another #PHENOMenalFRIDAY by the bio9 teachers from SHS. Virtual lessons taught live on location to bring our students biology they can explore in their backyard. Yesterday’s topic: The Biochem of Fall Leaf Change #bio9crew #distancelearning #schenectadystrong @SCSchools

[leigh feguer @feguerl]

Bio9 on location for PHENOMenal Friday! Teaching science in Schenectady. #schenectadystrong #steinmetzpark @AaronBochniak
