It was a mite bit chilly, but I had a great field trip with Atherton HS marine bio students to the floating classroom on the Living Lands and Waters barge. (My historical posts tell me I also did this trip in 2015, 2016, and 2017!)

For @atherton_high, closest @NOSBRocks rgnl comp is 400 mi away. Team has raised 60% of travel costs. Fam income shouldn’t be a barrier to #ScienceEd #MarineBio experience. - even $10 will help! @JCPSScience Thanks!

10 @atherton_high Ss are SO EXCITED for 1st in-person NOSB comp since Feb 2020!! Have a soft spot for science-❤️ing teens? Consider supporting our fundraiser - nothing to buy, every $ supports the team. TY! @JCPSScience #MarineBio

It’s been a fun couple of days getting to know each other and practice working together in my @atherton_high biology and marine bio classes. Looking forward to a great year!

Coral Up Close and Personal! After learning about coral anatomy, students ID/illustrate/describe the types of coral in the @atherton_high aquarium. In the collage, I’m amazed by how well cell phone pics can zoom in to tiny Montipora coral polyps! #MarineBio

The creative students of @atherton_high #MarineBio class researched Creepy Creatures for Halloween. Here are some of their hand-drawn posters - others were made on Google Slides. So impressed!

What a beautiful day for @atherton_high #MarineBio program field trip to the @TNAquarium! I am so glad to work with such inquisitive & enthusiastic young people! And I’m glad for the return of field trips for experiential learning!

After last night’s storms, @atherton_high is still without power (as of noon). So this morning I got fresh batteries and set up aeration for the Saltwater aquarium. Some shy friends were out for a hello in the quiet.

I really enjoyed my @ahs9thacademy bio genetics story projects (even though it took awhile to review them all)! Fun pop culture references and learning how to show twins in a pedigree! @atherton_high #AddamsFamily #Encanto #Minecraft @JCPSScience

Yesterday I wore this years-gone-by @atherton_high Marine Bio T-shirt in honor of the class Halloween-themed assignment. Last night I realized cell photo night-photo tech can now capture the glow in the dark aspect of the shirt!
