Students worked collaboratively as a Species Survival Plan committee to create Humboldt penguin breeding pairs to maximize genetic diversity for the conservation of the species. #ourBMSA #OAISS #Storylines

Proud of #ourBMSA students who conducted research and presented at the Ohio Youth Institute World Food Prize Foundation Conference today. #OAISS

Students took a gallery walk, providing feedback on one another's DNA builds to communicate and then improve their final models #ourBMSA #DesignProcess #OAISS

A few of our DNA models #ourBMSA

15 years ago I thought paperless classrooms were the future. Now I think they're an overhyped edtech dystopia. Students need tactile reading and writing experiences, which research shows leads to deeper, more sustained learning. #bfc530

Happy Spring Break Bio-Med Academy! We are all ready for the eclipse with our eye protection. #ourbmsa #OAISS

Teaching temperature regulation? Play the Thermia game to help your students learn about positive & negative feedback loops! The winner stays in #homeostasis whilst pushing opponents into hypo- or hyperthermia! Created by #biologyteacher Heidi Hisrich. bit.ly/3tvqITv

Students learned to read a studbook and collaborated to make penguin pedigrees as part of our conservation biology unit. We're learning about the importance of controlled breeding for genetic diversity. #ourBMSA #OAISS #Storylines

#ourbmsa #bmsabpa students traveled to Columbus for the state leadership conference. We are excited for all the learning experiences they will have the opportunity to enjoy over the next few days!

Students worked collaboratively to color and label their DNA strand. And we integrated in Programming by having students generate a random sequence of nucleotides using Python. #ourBMSA #OAISS

Nucleotide crowns to review the structure of DNA #ourBMSA

Lemur DNA gel electrophoresis was awesome! Every team successfully 're-discovered' at least one animal from the thought to be extinct C. sibreei species, just like the scientists Duke Lemur Center did! #ourBMSA Thanks miniPCR bio for an AWESOME conservation biology lab! #OAISS

Our 9th grade had a great visit to @akronzoo, learning about how the zoo works toward conservation and saving endangered species. #ourBMSA #OAISS #Sustainability

Today we extracted DNA from strawberries and ourselves to learn how scientists extract DNA for analysis. #Biotechnology #ourBMSA #OAISS

#WorldLemurDay celebrates Earth's most endangered group of mammals. The Duke Lemur Center has been using non-invasive research to learn about and care for lemurs for more than 55 years duke.is/p6ehh

They did it! #ourBMSA #FFA students placed 2nd in the state in Agricultural Biotechnology. We are so proud of their accomplishments! #OAISS

Cuddling our adopted lemurs as we conduct a lemur 'scavenger hunt' in preparation to do the miniPCR bio lemur lab based on Duke Lemur Center research. We love lemurs!! #ourBMSA #lemurs #OAISS

Happy Valentine's Day from my 'crobes to yours!

We watched a video and read about why it's worthwhile to conserve endangered species and then practiced oral communication using hexagonal thinking. Next, we'll dive deep into lemur conservation. #conservation #ourBMSA #OAISS #lemurs

Students created some awesome personal penguin posters as we learn about the various species and their unique adaptations. #ourBMSA
