Two EBHS students graduated tonight from the High School Apprenticeship Challenge through MIT/Novartis/BioBuilder, and received their awards!
In attendance to congratulate them were the Mayor of Cambridge, CEO of MLSC, future employers, and the scientist to first clone insulin!! We could not have been more proud of them. OUR STUDENTS ROCK!!!! Teachers and students were excited this August to receive science equipment bought with funds received from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center. With the help of our students and Kalomira from VWR, we managed to unpack and set up our new Biotechnology Lab here at EBHS! Two of our Enrichment Program leaders, Mrs. Morey and Ms. Dillingham attended the awards reception ceremony for a new Massachusetts Life Science Center (MLSC) grant!
Thanks to the generosity of MLSC we will be able to make our science program even more amazing! We are truly grateful to their contributions. We are so excited to have our new Vernier equipment purchased through MLSC funding!! This month in AP Bio we are focusing on how negative feedback regulates homeostasis. Currently, we are researching sugar regulation in the body and how artificial sweeteners are used as sugar substitutes because of their lower caloric content. This week in our class we are designing experiments to investigate how well yeast ferment artificial sweeteners compared to glucose and sucrose. Students are using their LabQuests and carbon dioxide probes to measure the rates of sugar fermentation in yeast. Stay tuned for results…
