Proud of all of this year's AP bio students in what you accomplished in the classroom and on the exam. You worked through a double period, college level biology course and sat for a rigorous comprehensive exam - these are no small feats! #theRockvilleWay

Students investigating factors that affect cell respiration in germinated seeds....and worms! #RHSworms #nowormswereharmed #theRockvilleWay Rhoshanda Pyles

Doing Chi-square analysis using M&M's! #calculateandmunch

Students performed bacterial transformation to make glowing bacteria! Groups also learned a tough lesson - takes multiple trials and failures along the way in the pursuit of science. Proud of the collaboration and attention to detail they exhibited. #theRockvilleWay Rockville High School's Science Department

Joining RHS's virtual spirit week for Wellness Day. Chick therapy going on over here! Rhoshanda Pyles RHS SGA

AP Bio students using water and pop beads as a model to determine the effect rising carbon dioxide levels have on ocean acidification and oyster shells.

First modeling activity of the year - building a long polysaccharide as a class!

Busy day in the lab today - setting up protocol for osmosis and diffusion using dialysis bags and potatoes. Disclaimer: no potatoes were eaten!

Solid week of AP Bio hard at work (and rest!) - nothing like working outdoors and then designing an investigation to test the rate of photosynthesis.

Using 3D molecular kits to model the process of protein synthesis!

Great day in the lab yesterday! Used the bioluminescent gene from jellyfish to make bacteria glow!
