Here’s our entry for the Pink Pumpkin Contest! #WeAreKR #KRscience #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Last week, Mrs. Kelsey’s bio class saw the signs of cellular respiration in germinating beans using cabbage juice as a pH indicator. This week: candy DNA replication! #KRscience #fcps1kidsdeserveit #WeAreKR

Can you tell which of these plant cell slides was made with salt solution and which one was made with tap water? How can you tell? 🌱🔬 #biology #osmosis #KRscience #WeAreKR

What happens when you put raisins in distilled water for 24 hours? Ask our 4th period bio kids! #osmosis #biology #KRscience #WeAreKR

Looked at lots of different hairs under the microscope in bio last week. Brown, blonde, gray...Wait...is that a PURPLE ONE?? 👩‍🎤 #KRscience #WeAreKR

Both #APBio classes were able to try SDS-PAGE (protein electrophoresis) thanks to Fralin Life Sciences Institute #biotech-in-a-box program! Samples: MW marker, beef, turkey, pork, cheese, quinoa, beans, two types of egg, another marker #KRscience #WeAreKR #handsonlearning #fcps1kidsdeserveit

End of the semester photo challenge #3 Critters from our science dept, always a big hit! 🦎🐍🐢Please take a minute to vote for your favorite(s). Thanks to Mrs. Correll 👩‍🔬 & Mrs. Heckathorn padlet.com/tishalou/ktweg… fcps1ARTS Kettle Run HS #photographyisart #keepthemengaged

Welcome to Term 2! What’s going on this week? Writing quality procedures & reviewing living vs non-living (Kelsey’s Ecology), introducing biology (Evans’ Honors Bio), and trying to understand PCR & gel electrophoresis (Correll’s AP Bio & iSTEM). #WeAreKR #KRscience

🥳🎉

Is it...ALIVE?? Students in Evans’ Bio classes will find out as they learn the characteristics shared by all living things! #KRscience #WeAreKR

A big THANK YOU to Mr. Michael Trop from John Marshall Soil & Water Conservation District for coming out to train our Ecology, AP Environmental, Environmental, & #iSTEMH2O students for stream monitoring. We can’t wait for our first trip! #KRScience #WeAreKR #Ecology #conservation

I really enjoyed sitting in on a few student presentations in Mr. Warner’s class last week. Of course I had to check out Grace’s Inner Fish talk. You would have been proud, Neil Shubin! Residual gills, fish pushups, hernias, & wrist bones...She had it all! 🐟 #WeAreKR #KRscience

Alternative assessments for unit 1! Determining the strength of toilet paper to demonstrate understanding. #wearekr #krscience

Friday recycling yeilds from the first floor #krhsrecycles #wearekr #krscience

Tried some glass bending in #iSTEMH2O today! 😎🔥 Why, you ask? To make bacterial spreaders to use on our very first E. coli spread plates! 🧫 #microbiology #WeAreKR #KRscience @krhsistem

Visited the stream today with #iSTEMH2O & Mrs_Kelsey’s 3rd period Ecology to do some water testing - including macroinvertebrate and coliform counts! #handsonlearning #WeAreKR #iSTEM #KRscience #fcps1kidsdeserveit

Not all cross-curricular #collaboration opportunities are obvious! Today, #APBio read instructions & interpreted results for our NCBI BLAST lab, giving their Mark Frazier keyboarding partners a chance to practice their typing & shortcut skills 🧑‍💻🧑‍🔬🧬 #WeAreKR #KRscience

Check it out, fellow mammals! 👀 March Mammal Madness 2020 is off and running! Stop by room 468 tomorrow if you want to fill in a bracket! #WeAreKR #2020MMM #KRscience Mrs_Kelsey
