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.

After only one day students are well on their way! Above a student has complete a leg of her robot. Below students have made progress building a sustainable energy solution!
After a year of working hard to prepare for the MCAS exam, Ms. OJ's students celebrate by building robots. Students are building walking robots, solar powered robots, roller coasters, bridges and circuits. Special thanks to MLSC for funding these projects! Updates will follow as the projects progress.
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.
Three EBHS graduated last night from the High School Apprenticeship Challenge sponsored by BioBuilder and MLSC. The studied for 8 weeks (3X a week) on the MIT campus during a paid internship! Very proud of these three!
12 dedicated science teachers spent their Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon engaged in content professional development expanding their biotech skills and how to apply that knowledge base into their classroom instruction. We want to thank the Bioteach instructors for an awesome Saturday learning at Eastie where Class Pride and Tradition through science happens each and every day. 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. Three EBHS students were accepted into the Life Sciences High School Apprenticeship Training Program at MIT for 2017 and started yesterday! Only twenty students from the metro area were accepted. It is an intensive lab training program housed at MIT. They will go to MIT three times a week for 6 weeks to train in the biotech/bioengineering field. At the end they will graduate with a certificate of training and make $500.00 each!
So Proud! 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. |
