Two guesses as to how I’m spending Thursday and Friday…#IYKYK #APBio @AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA #apbio students getting jiggy with some toothpickase! #IYKYK #theystillsayjiggyright #hashtagsarestillathingright

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA #APBio students modeling enzyme activity with ye old “toothpickase”! Gotta blindfold these kids so they know enzymes aren’t “choosing” substrates. Using duct tape on goggles is a win over hankys!

@ACS_SILSA @AVLCitySchools Honors Earth Science students getting to understand density currents and bonus…nobody got scalded!

Did the egg osmosis lab with my #apbio kids last week…couldn’t believe they had never done it so we had to…back to work @AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA

@AVLCitySchools making teachers use leave or drive into a flood zone is…a choice.

One of my favorite activities every year! Students LARP as Amino Acids and have to form the primary structure and then tertiary folds to create a functional protein! @ACS_SILSA @AVLCitySchools #APBio

A little bit of speed dating in APES class today. Learning lessons for the future of the environment by discussing the history of Rapa Nui. #APES @AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA #APBio students started off day 1 with data gathering…tomorrow we’ll get into SD/Standard Error all in an effort to find out who is more accurate at throwing “paintballs”? Spoiler…not everyone can win.

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA #apbio students say goodbye to another year with ceiling tiles to represent a topic. This group=❤️

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA AP Bio students making their “I survived #apbio” ceiling tiles and leaving their mark. Can you guess the concept or topic referenced in these?

Density currents!

@APforStudents @CollegeBoard 1.1 billion last year? Can we turn a smidge of those profits into a functioning, reliable website? Our tests are a week away and access has been 🤮🤢this week.

@ACS_SILSA @AVLCitySchools #APBio students doing the great clade race to investigate and critically think about phylogenetic trees/cladograms. This group has amazing energy and spirit!

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA AP Environmental Science students are sick of hearing me so we did mini-conversations about last years East Palestine OH train derailment and subsequent health effects of the pollutants released. Listen and enjoy the energy of a student-centered lesson

@ACS_SILSA @AVLCitySchools #APBio students prepping for tomorrow’s unit test - they all had to reach consensus on every answer or zeros for everyone! Not one team missed more than 2 questions! #powerofcollaboration

@ACS_SILSA @AVLCitySchools Science National Honor Society got a visit from UNC-Asheville Physics Faculty Dr. Joshi today. Fascinating educational journey and electrifying demos! Thanks Dr. Joshi!

The longer I spend in NC education the more the NC TOY program seems to be a retention-by-flattery program: not designed to celebrate a teacher, but rather to fool young teachers into sticking around with accolades instead of decent wages.

What is the barycenter of two orbiting objects? Scotty knows! @ACS_SILSA @AVLCitySchools xitter.gq/Scienceguyfritz/status…

@AVLCitySchools @ACS_SILSA Science student keeping busy this week. Modeling the expanding universe in EES, tragedy of the commons in #APES!
