AP Bio students followed a genetic transformation protocol today which allowed for bacteria to take in a gene from a jellyfish. This gene causes the bacteria to glow! Students followed up with an inquiry investigation that led the groups down different paths based on their interests. #deeperlearning

Honors Bio students are meeting with a genetic counselor today via Zoom! She has them predicting whose famous family is represented through genetic pedigrees she projects. So cool!! This opportunity today is thanks to a grant we earned to use Nepris, a tool that bridges students with industry professionals virtually, as well as to Mrs. Trosin’s efforts to capitalize on this tool!
