Science operations for @TheJr School of Rock = deploying OBS (Ocean Bottom Seismometers) & CTDs (Conductivity, Temp, Depth) to help Victoria Preston & colleagues learn about eruptions at a tectonic plate boundary: East Pacific Rise. @OlinCollege @LamontEarth @Scripps_Ocean

Puzzle vibes in the lab sorting a box of @TheJR IODP core samples from drill sites near our route to Galapagos. @ECORD_IODP @JRSO_IODP @LamontEarth #Langseth #NSFfunded #SOR2025 #IODP #ODP

Excited to my core to revisit microfossils during @TheJR school of rock! It’s been a while since I looked at #forams but the great news is, using a scope and picking is just like riding a bike! @LamontEarth #Langseth #NSFfunded #SOR2025

Gadgets galore on the R/V Langseth’s bridge. Captain Breck Crum gave us a crash course in the navigation, steering, autopilot (iron Mike), AIS, and communication systems of R/V Langseth. @TheJr @LamontEarth #Langseth #NSFfunded #SOR2025

Learning about the research operations we’ll have the chance to assist with & practicing some new skills. Thanks for schoolin’ the teachers @OlinCollege’s Victoria Preston & @LamontEarth’s Todd Jensvold @TheJr #Langseth #NSFfunded #SOR2025

Opening a ship’s water tight door feels like a sailing right of passage! Here’s my first go! @TheJr @LamontEarth #Langseth #NSFfunded #SOR2025

Found a stowaway in my bunk! My daughter’s @squishmallows toy is along for the ride to Galapagos on Research Vessel Langseth!! @TheJR @LamontEarth #NSFfunded #SOR2025 #Langseth

Doing a little science before we push off! Using a Secchi (rhymes with Becky) disk to measure water turbidity (cloudiness) around the R/V #Langseth @TheJr @LamontEarth @GeneralsPride @APSVirginia #NSFfunded #SOR2025

Safety first! This definitely beats the usual Bloodborne Pathogens teacher safety training! @TheJr School of Rock aboard R/V #Langseth @Columbia @LamontEarth @GeneralsPride @APSVirginia #NSFfunded #teacherlife

Ahoy R/V Langseth! Boarded and braced for adventure! @LamontEarth @TheJR @GeneralsPride @APSVirginia #NSFfunded #Langseth #SchoolofRock

Our @TheJR School of Rock journey begins! Teacher participants & facilitators have the chance to meet and enjoy our last bit of time on land in beautiful San Diego! The boats are giving us a taste of what’s to come… @LamontEarth @Columbia #NSFfunded #Langseth

“To infinity and beyond!” Actually, to @TheJR School of Rock aboard @Columbia ship R/V Marcus G. Langseth and beyond!! I’ll join teachers from across the country for a professional learning expedition to Galapagos! @AlaskaAir @LamontEarth @APSVirginia #NSFfunded #Langseth

#Bio students made Instagram profiles for organisms from a kingdom of their choice. Can you guess which kingdom they belong to?! @GeneralsPride @WLHSAsstPrinPJ @APSVirginia @wasamshsu #GeneralsScience @APSscience

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! @GeneralsPride @APSscience @WLHSAsstPrinPJ @APSVirginia @APS_STEM @Principal_WLHS #GeneralsSci

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! @GeneralsPride @WLHSAsstPrinPJ

Cooking up lots of science this week in our classroom! Today students modeled bacteria and virus structures with pancake art in #Bio2! @APSVirginia @APSscience @GeneralsPride @WLHSAsstPrinPJ @Principal_WLHS

Egg-scape room day in #Bio2! Students worked together to solve genetics problems to crack the final code and egg scape with a prize! @GeneralsPride @APSscience @WLHSAsstPrinPJ @Principal_WLHS @APSVirginia @APS_STEM #GeneralsSci

Spent the evening in my favorite place feeling fabulous and fishy! Happy #WorldOceanDay @NMNH @SmithsonianEdu @Fishing4Gyotaku

What an incredible moment to see our @GeneralsPride Oceanography senior sharing what she’s learned with @BarrettAPS elementary school students! @APSVirginia @APSscience @APS_STEM @Principal_WLHS @WLHSAsstPrinPJ

Oceanography students explored the challenges of cleaning up ocean plastic pollution by designing devices to remove plastics from water. Students analyzed the collected plastic & shared the strengths/weaknesses of their devices! @APSscience @APS_STEM @Principal_WLHS
