Congratulations to the NASA SpaceX team and to all of their math and science teachers who gave them the foundation and inspiration to make this launch a success! Well done!!!

Yes!

Crushing! Devastating! I think I am numb! I don’t think that when we talked about “reimagining education” this is what we had in mind.

Bio9 on location for PHENOMenal Friday! Teaching science in Schenectady. #schenectadystrong #steinmetzpark Aaron Bochniak, Ed.D

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 Schenectady Schools

🐝🐝 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

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

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.

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

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! Schenectady Schools #distancelearning

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

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. Schenectady Schools #PHENOMenalFriday

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! Schenectady Schools
