Students complete a polymer lab in Honors Biology. They analyzed the chemical makeup of different polymers. In the end, they engineered their own biodegradable polymer cups!

EBHS is proud of Ms. Denise Puopolo who has developed an Advanced Topic course in collaboration with Tufts. This science elective is open to seniors who are interested in further advancing their knowledge of biological science as it relates to the human body. The class consists of three modules: infectious disease, neurological disorders, and metabolic disease.
When students first arrive in this country, they take SEI physics/engineering with Ms. Helen Harlan or Ms. Sarah Benat. The class is designed to teach physics, engineering, science skills and serve as an introduction to science vocabulary for the students. These pictures are of students in Ms. Harlan's classes. Check out our students exploring biological molecules in our classrooms. From building models of DNA, testing for the presence of carbohydrates, to practicing their pipetting skills and gel electrophoresis. These students in our Regular Biology and SpEd Biology classrooms are exploring the very molecules from which we are made. Forensics teacher, George DeGregorio helps a student set up a 3D printer. In forensics, they are printing out models of human teeth to learn more about matching bite marks.
Mr. Faiz brings BioTeach labs into his SEI classes. His students learned pipetting skills and gel electrophoresis. We are thrilled that all of our students now have access to biotech skills thanks to MLSC and professional development from BioTeach. Students in Ms. Dillingham's AP Biology class work with Alia from Amgen to complete a bacterial transformation. These students are gaining real science skills that not only keep them engaged, but also can be developed into internships and eventual employment in Boston's booming biotech sector. Students conduct a cellular respiration lab in Ms. OJ's biology class. They are practicing designing testable questions, gathering data and drawing conclusions. Students in AP Biology conduct a catalase lab and isolate DNA
Ms. Amanda Dillingham's Honors Biology classes recently completed two engineering projects: a water filter and an edible cup. It's always exciting to see engineering in biology classes!
