9th Grade Environmental Science Students Investigate Homeostasis: Where Did the Sea Otters Go? Environmental Science students have been diving deep into the delicate balance of ecosystems through an engaging unit study on homeostasis, centered around the mystery: Where did the sea otters go? Throughout the unit, students explored the energy flow and feeding relationships within the Pacific Northwest, focusing on the interconnected roles of kelp, sea urchins, sea otters, and orcas. By constructing food chains and food webs, they discovered the critical role of keystone species in maintaining ecosystem stability. Hands-on activities allowed students to apply scientific concepts to real-world ecological challenges. An experiment with algae beads demonstrated photosynthesis and cellular respiration in action. In another lab, students used eggs to simulate ocean acidification, observing firsthand how increased acidity affects calcium-based structures like coral reefs. Additionally, diffusion and osmosis highlighted the impact of environmental changes on marine organisms. Mrs. Milner emphasized that these labs and experiments give students the opportunity to think like ecologists. By investigating real-world environmental issues, they gain a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance that sustains life in an ecosystem. Through this immersive approach, students are not only developing a solid foundation in ecological science but also fostering a greater awareness of conservation efforts and the importance of protecting biodiversity.

AP Biology Students Master Micropipetting and Gel Electrophoresis in Hands-On Labs AP Biology students recently put their laboratory skills to the test in an advanced hands-on experiment, mastering the use of micropipettes and conducting a gel electrophoresis lab to analyze sickle cell disease. The lab began with a micropipetting skills workshop, where students learned the precision techniques required to measure and transfer small volumes of liquid accurately. This foundational skill is essential in molecular biology and biomedical research. Following the training, students applied their newfound expertise in a gel electrophoresis experiment designed to simulate genetic testing for sickle cell disease. Using DNA samples representing normal, carrier, and sickle cell traits, students loaded the gel and ran an electric current to separate DNA fragments by size. The resulting banding patterns allowed them to analyze genetic differences and understand how this technique is used in real-world diagnostics. AP Biology teacher, Mrs. Milner, emphasized the importance of hands-on experiences in science education. Labs like these give students the opportunity to practice real-world biotechnology skills. They not only reinforce classroom learning but also spark curiosity about careers in genetics, research, and healthcare. This lab experience is just one of many ways AP Biology students at Seminole County Middle High School are engaging with cutting-edge scientific techniques, preparing them for future studies in biology and beyond.
