Mr. L

If students are going to solve the problems of tomorrow why not let them be a part of solving the problems of today? #mahtbio

@willida25 @DNALC @nature_org @NYSMTP @STANYSorg Have a absolute blast!

Day 4 Plant DNA extraction - PCR - gels all in one day WHILE documenting insects in-between. Gels were AWFUL! Now, the REAL SCIENCE begins tomorrow morning group troubleshooting what MIGHT have gone wrong? But ck out that spider! @DNALC @nature_org @NYSMTP @STANYSorg

@JessPopescu @blackforager @KlutheScience No, palms grow up but don’t add girth. They have primary growth only. I think of it through the tree rings. Tree ferns are another example, they grow up but that’s it. Fascinating to think that pines (gymnosperm) and oaks (angiosperm) both evolved to be trees independently!

@JLBiology @blackforager @KlutheScience Wait but by that definition wouldn't a palm tree be a tree?

@blackforager please help @KlutheScience and I. What. Is. A Tree.

Feeling valued and validated as a professional educator with the @BIOINTERACTIVE Academy meeting. I am inspired by this community that is driven to “dare mighty things” everyday to help improve life science education for all students.

@DanKos3 SEPA Grant Award planning

Refilling my professional learning bucket this week. Helping design and create lessons to support the most amazing and engaging molecular models. Refreshing to learn and collaborate with such passionate people who are fighting to transform science learning.

The MAPS Team is kicking off Summer by learning about biochemistry and the basics of protein structures using amazing @3DMolDesigns models! #WeAre832 @MahtomediPride

At Mahtomedi High School, Science Teacher Jim Lane received a shoutout from alumna Kathryn Robinson. “I am now on my way to become a teacher, and I hold the ways in which he taught close to my heart. He didn’t give us the answer, rather he encouraged us to find the solutions."

Field Eco students are working hard planning lessons about trees and conservation for the 2nd grade students! They are identifying learning targets and success criteria for their engaging student centered lessons! #WeAre832

Field Ecology students presented their projects designed to communicate the intersections of history of a huge bur oak and the human and ecological communities. Authentic audience and some very creative approaches!! Thank you to all who attended!! #WeAre832

Field Ecology is deciphering tree rings, climate data, and human interactions with the land. They have been using software from @locallyabsent @UMNews to learn about the intersection of trees, climate, and human culture. #WeAre832

@JessPopescu Well done! Thank you!!!

@JLBiology RIGHT!?
