We’re off and running in #shsibbio #ibbio This week the first year students are focusing on the characteristics shared by all living things. How many can you remember??

For #ibbio topic 7.1 quantamagazine.org/the-complex-tr…

The #ibbio year 1s learned about the characteristics of life and how even single celled organisms are able to perform them!

Great to be back in the lab with #ibbio year 2s using Jello cubes as models for the SA:V ratio as a limit to cell size!

The #shsibbio year 1s have learned about the levels of biological organization and created tiles to illustrate examples of structures found at the various levels. #ibbio

The #ibbio classes have been learning about variation as a key component of evolution via natural selection. First collect lots of data and then analyze with descriptive statistics

Every year these photos bring a smile to my face! ⚡️ “10 hilarious winners of this year's Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards” x.com/i/events/14608…

In #shsibbio we’ve been learning how reproductive isolation and independent evolution can lead to speciation! #ibbio #ibbiology

Hi! I'm Gretel. Was an #EinsteinFellows17 with DOE now I'm back to teaching 🙋about 🧬,🌱, 🧫, 🧪, 🫀 and 🐙 in #ibbio If I could gain any new #stem skill it would be complex data visualization & communication. Simplifying complex diagrams and 📈 makes me😊 #EinsteinFellows21

A1: most impactful learning was an experience I had as with Earthwatch early in my teaching career. It provided opportunity to reflect and conclude that I can “do” science but I chose to teach. I've never looked back #einsteinfellows21 biologyforlife.com/reflection.html

A2: the best classroom practices involve connecting with kids, through stories, shared experiences, humor and empathy. Informal learning opportunities provide a path on which these connections can be made. #EinsteinFellows21

Yesterday In #ibbio we modeled textbook depictions of neurons and today we examined what neurons actually look like thanks to Allen Institute brain cell database and Mozak We pondered the pros and cons of simplifying models for the sake of learning.

My year as an #einsteinfellows17 was reinvigorating and impactful. These 15 top-notch #stem educators are fortunate to have an opportunity to learn, impact and grow over the following year while serving as fellows. Congratulations #einsteinfellows22 !

I'm Gretel, AEF Program #einsteinfellows18 (or 17?). There aren't many leadership pathways for those of us who want to remain in the classroom. Sometimes I feel like my #teachervoice doesn't matter, and other times I know my voice resonates the most in a room full of kids.

Welcome to the newest class of Skyline High School #ibbio students! We spent the first week of class getting to know each other and exploring characteristics of life #shsibbio
