@sctoy21 Bonus benefits for students is making contacts across the globe that could result in life long friendships! I am a firm believer in travel & experiencing the world from the prospectives of others. This is a great way to include it in the curriculum while addressing standards!

[Savannah Clayton @savageapbio]

@sctoy21 I LOVE the possibilities here. Students would gain so much from making connections with others across the globe. This would provide benefits that can’t be gained elsewhere. I’d love to start a gNet project with environmental conservation & strategies used in different countries!

[Sarah Gams @sctoy21]

Globally Networked Curriculum (gNet) Projects are a powerful way to engage students across the state, nation, and globe. Check out my blog post on gNet curriculum projects and give your opinion in the chat! Are gNet projects possible in your setting? https://t.co/CqoHlt8PlY

@sctoy21 Science and Engineering - student design and create models of the different cell types & explain why their models accurately depict each cell type

For fun - one that we have done is Science and Music - students created their own Genetics Rap or Music Videos. It really helped!!

Teachers, play the Cross-Disciplinary Challenge! Spin the wheel twice and think of a way to combine the two disciplines in your classroom! Which two talents did you combine? How COULD you combine them? Use https://t.co/hm0Qx7wuQt and drop your ideas in the chat! @Winthrop_PreCollege #TransformSC23

@sctoy21 @SummerCarling A personal favorite of mine is Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess - he provides actionable steps for engaging students & transforming learning.

@sctoy21 @SummerCarling As a part our our @LexRich5Schools secondary science leadership we have been digging into Vocabulary for the New Science Standards by Marzano, Rogers and Simms. It’s really been eye opening for effective vocabulary instruction with our Biology students.

@LBAPBio Thanks friend! Couldn’t have done it without your kids! Another reason I love working @SpringHillHS 😍

[Savannah Clayton @savageapbio]

Thanks to current and former AP Bio students for helping get my Bio 1 kids ready for their EOC tomorrow! I loved seeing my students (and @LBAPBio) teach each other 😍 #Collaboration is the WAY we do things at #springhill Peer tutoring gives me #PrideIn5 #shhs #eocready #letsdoit

@SpringHillHS AP Bio isolated their mitochondrial DNA today! 🧬🧬🧬We also learned about careers in Genetics and about CRISPR and other cutting edge gene editing technologies today at the @GreenwoodGenCtr #vortex #PrideIn5 #GeneticEngineering #bradgregory #EngineeringAcademy

[Savannah Clayton @savageapbio]

I love when kids go all in on an assignment! AP Bio challenged with creating a video showing enzymes & regulation with competitive and non-competitive inhibitors! This was one group’s product! Sound on! :) #lovemykids #shhstheway #PrideIn5 #apbio #catalyzelearning #betheactivator

[Savannah Clayton @savageapbio]

This week AP Bio designed and engineered models of proteins! Then the class was challenged with figuring out how to combine their individual peptide strands into a large quaternary protein structure! #apbio #pridein5 #shhstheway #shhs #molecularengineering #engineeringacademy

[Savannah Clayton @savageapbio]

Today in AP Bio we engineered models of proteins. #pridein5 #shhs #shhstheway #Teachin5 #dehydrationsynthesis #goldensnitch
