Oceanography performance assessment time! Students built models of the Atlantic Ocean to apply what weโve learned about how wind interacts with the ocean and landmasses. @APSscience National Science Teaching Association Washington-Liberty HS APS STEM Arlington Public Schools @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske #GeneralsSci

Students in #EnvSci successfully established carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles their Eco-column projects which have been thriving for 2 months without being touched! Washington-Liberty HS @APSscience APS STEM Paul Jamelske @Principal_WLHS WLHSInstruction #GeneralsSci


Bacteria boogie! #Bio2 Students made their own slides of bacteria using probiotic yogurt. @APSscience APS STEM Arlington Public Schools Washington-Liberty HS Paul Jamelske @Principal_WLHS

Oceanography students modeled density currents with dyed water at different temperatures and salinities! @apsvirginia @generalspride @APSscience APS STEM Huge thanks to my Oceanography predecessor Stephanie Sarmiento for this cool activity! #GeneralsSci @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske

Celebrating the end of our bacteria & viruses unit and the start of spring break with some pancake art! Students made YUMMY pancake models of viruses and bacteria! APS STEM @APSscience Arlington Public Schools Washington-Liberty HS @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske


Time for an Oceanography Performance Task! Students modeled dynamic tidal theory amphidromic circulation, took measurements, and drew conclusions about how basin morphology impacts tides. @APSscience APS STEM Arlington Public Schools Washington-Liberty HS @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske

Exploring wind power in Oceanography with a STEM challenge! Students built wind turbines that could lift a cup from the floor to table height! APS STEM Arlington Public Schools @APSscience Washington-Liberty HS @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske

Collecting evidence for the Theory of Evolution in #Bio2 at stations! Students explored anatomical, DNA/protein, fossil, & embryonic evidence. Washington-Liberty HS Arlington Public Schools @APSscience WLHSInstruction @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske



Oceanography groups researched different commercial fishing & aquaculture techniques and built mini museum displays. For todayโs performance assessment, students toured our class museum and analyzed the sustainability of each practice. Washington-Liberty HS @APSscience Paul Jamelske

Check out this treasure #EnvSci kids found! They hypothesized that another bird preyed on this egg and left the shell behind. @apsvirginia @generalspride @APSscience Paul Jamelske @Principal_WLHS


In #Bio2 SOL prep continues with a review of the nature of science and microbiology! Check out the bacteria and other microorganisms that students collected inside our school and grew for a week! @apsvirginia @generalspride Paul Jamelske @APSscience @Principal_WLHS



What an incredible moment to see our Washington-Liberty HS Oceanography senior sharing what sheโs learned with KWBarrett Elementary elementary school students! Arlington Public Schools @APSscience APS STEM @Principal_WLHS Paul Jamelske

Spent the evening in my favorite place feeling fabulous and fishy! Happy #WorldOceanDay Smithsonian NMNH Smithsonian Education Dwight Hwang


Egg-scape room day in #Bio2! Students worked together to solve genetics problems to crack the final code and egg scape with a prize! Washington-Liberty HS @APSscience Paul Jamelske @Principal_WLHS Arlington Public Schools APS STEM #GeneralsSci


Cooking up lots of science this week in our classroom! Today students modeled bacteria and virus structures with pancake art in #Bio2! Arlington Public Schools @APSscience Washington-Liberty HS Paul Jamelske @Principal_WLHS


Everyone loves tacos right! In #EnvSci students brainstormed the different types of tacos a herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, and decomposer would eat! Then students prepared their own tacos and decided which type of heterotroph they were today! Washington-Liberty HS Paul Jamelske


Students constructed an ecosystem food web and made hypotheses about what they might find in owl pellets. Then they dissected their owl pellets and reconstructed the prey skeletons! Washington-Liberty HS @APSscience Paul Jamelske Arlington Public Schools APS STEM @Principal_WLHS #GeneralsSci


#Bio students made Instagram profiles for organisms from a kingdom of their choice. Can you guess which kingdom they belong to?! Washington-Liberty HS Paul Jamelske Arlington Public Schools Ms. Hsu ่จฑ #GeneralsScience @APSscience
