School has Started and Students are Learning Science Habits of Mind

We're a good month into the school year and Biotechnology Academy students are learning by doing.  In biology, both 9th and 10th grade cohorts are learning how to investigate phenomena, design experiments, and work together collaboratively.  In genetics, both 11th and 12th grade cohorts are re-learning the biological basis of heredity.  They have been reviewing protein chemistry and learning about cellular and molecular biology. We are having fun interacting with each other while re-learning science habits of mind.
