🔥 Things were heating up in the RHS science labs this week! Students in Mrs. Scott’s chemistry classes explored the bright side of science with flame testing, learning how different elements produce unique flame colors. A glowing example of chemistry in action! 💚🧡 #RHSScience

Spent this morning at the @dentonisd job fair and had the opportunity to speak with a number of individuals looking to join our team at @RHSRaiders.
Several good science candidates in the mix. Excited about growing our team. #RHSScience #DentonISDDelivers

Great to see some of our students taking advantage of the after school Biology STAAR review/tutorials with Ms. McDaniel & Ms. Brinson. Today’s focus is DNA and Gene Expression/Protein Synthesis.
Everyone can learn.
Everyone can get better.

Mrs. Savage’s AP Physics 1 students designing a lab and analyzing data with PASCO sensors to show that the impulse applied (force applied for an amount of time) to a cart is mathematically equal to the change in momentum of the cart.

Tracking the #evolution of rock pocket mice and allele frequency under different environmental pressures. Also seeing the value of combined data and increased sample size for accuracy and reducing impact of outliers.

Nothing better than hearing conversations between students using academic vocabulary correctly.

A noisy class is an engaged class…sometimes.

My classes had some “Story time with Mr. Spalding” and heard about the house training of Max the Wonder Dog yesterday and today. It was a bizarre story with some laughs that just might help them remember the order of the events in the cell cycle. 🐶

Students playing the role of nucleotides and forming a strand of #DNA. Left hand on shoulder of person in front is covalent bond of the backbone. Index cards down center are base pairings.
5’-3’ Antiparallel strands
Be it. Build it. See it.

One of my students regularly uses a dry erase marker on his desks to sketch diagrams and notes to reinforce our learning. It is always interesting to see what he generates on a daily basis. Gives meaning to “show your thinking”.

You know it’s #photosynthesis time in our Cellular Energy Unit when I break out the guitar. Yes…it’s a goofy song, but it gets the basics to stick in my students’ brains, and that’s what matters.
Having fun while teaching AND learning. 🎸🌱☀️

A little time lapse of my A3 practicing their microscope skills in preparation for our next unit over cells, their structures and processes.

A quick lab today using Jello and pineapple to introduce enzymes.
Bromelain is an enzyme present in pineapple that breaks down collagen. It doesn’t work with canned pineapple though…I wonder why.

Digging into scientific thinking and the value of data. It is critical to be able to read data, interpret it and pull information from it. Awesome hearing the conversations going on in my classes related to data today.

Putting my eyeballs back on the classroom and doing some lesson prep for the start of the year.
It’s nice to be able to do some good work without any distractions. 23-24 is going to be a great year!
See everyone soon.

Today is the first day of (astronomical) summer!
🔆Today is the longest day of the year in terms of daylight.
🔆 The sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer.
🔆 After today, our days will get shorter until the winter solstice on December 21st!
