It was such an honor to have Nick Zorn join my forensics class today! 👻🎃💀

Blood type testing-now we can see an agglutination reaction with A, B, and Rh antibodies to determine blood types!

I wasn’t sure how our data would turn out as 9th bio collected algae bead data. These results were exciting to see at the end of class! The yellow tube with beads was in foil while the purple tube was in the light. 👍 Photosynthesis & CR in action!

What if multiple suspects have the same blood type as the crime scene? We practiced testing ABO blood type and used other evidence from the crime scene + suspects to determine the most likely match.

How does blood drop height impact drop size and appearance?

Such a cool physics lab Joe Cossette !!

8th period students: Ugh, miss why does it smell in here? Me: Oh, sorry. It’s the blood. Them: 😳 Featuring Nicky and ihyjackie 👍

Steelmen - with positive Covid cases rising, it is important we wear our masks correctly (covering mouth & nose). We have three and half weeks until Winter Break. Let’s finish the semester strong in areas we can can control and keep our community safe.

First competition in the books! Proud of our Science Olympiad team!! 🧫🧬🔭🧪❤️

Bravo to Peter Lipari, Steve Pyter, and the amazing student performers at the Sounds of the Season concert today. I recognized many past and present students and their talent, as always, is incredible! 🎶🎼🎵

Minutiae patterns are easier to see when you can zoom in!

Molds of our plastic prints turned out great! And they’re functional! 🙃

Time to solve the final crime scenes! Students switched tables to solve a crime another group designed and set up evidence for. 👍

JTHS 204: Emergency E-Learning Day 1/26/22 bit.ly/3nWV0hE

Very serious competition for resources as biology students battle using tools to simulate different beak shapes! 🐤🐦

Had a great time helping with Science Olympiad today. Joy Otry Dr. Lauren Kline (she/her) Jen Baxter Ms. Farias

Students practiced presumptive testing, then applied their skills on their summative lab. Awesome collaboration and lab skills! 🥽🧪

Only one student + my mentors for tutoring today, but I’m proud of the work this one student did to work on relearning genetics information to be prepared for a summative! Neon lab markers for the win, here!

Loading gels is a precise technique. We practiced yesterday so we are ready to run our gel lab today!
