For current 11th and 10th graders: The Honors Executive Internship Program will be listed on
the Subject Selection forms for current Juniors and Sophomores. If you would like to participate in this
program, read the information and return the applications to Ms. Rodriguez, CAP
Advisor by March 12, 2014. Since 1958, the Honors and Executive Internship Program
(HEIP) has provided exciting opportunities for high school juniors and seniors
in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Through a community-based internship, students are paired with community
professionals to gain experience and first-hand knowledge in their intended
collegiate field of study. Internship providers who participate in the program
share their time and talents so that interns have meaningful, career-related
experiences. The internship is designed to give students real-life
experiences in the world of work, with students taking on the roles and
responsibilities of a valued member of a company. It is important that the student interns
understand that dress, punctuality, attendance, and behavior reflect well upon
them and their parents, teachers, schools, and peers. The internship program is an elective course that can be
taken for one or two annual credits, depending on the individual student’s
schedule. A local honors point is
awarded for each credit earned. Students
do not receive pay during their internship, as they are earning high school
credit for their work at the internship site. Students who will be Juniors and Seniors for the upcoming
school year, are eligible, but must meet the following qualifications: Minimum
un-weighted scholastic GPA of 3.00
Excellent school attendance Internship
application (must be typed) submitted with: Proof of
medical insurance School
Activities Resume For one credit, the minimum number of hours required is
five (5) per week or forty-five (45) hours for the quarter. We recommend that students take it as a 7th
period elective. From: Brandeis High School
Programs [highschool=brandeis.edu@mail54.wdc03.rsgsv.net] on behalf of Brandeis

FYI Summer Program for juniors.... The Ocean
Exploration Trust’s (OET) Honors Research Program (HRP) invites rising high
school seniors (junior year completed by summer of 2014) to participate
in a seven-week summer program from July 7 through August 8, 2014 (dates
subject to change) with an added 7 – 14 days on an oceanographic exploration
expedition. Participating students will gain exposure to and experience in the
applications of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM)
in the field of ocean exploration by participating in the Nautilus Exploration
Program, founded in 2008 by Dr. Robert Ballard and conducted by the Ocean
Exploration Trust. Our international program centers on scientific exploration
of the ocean launched from aboard Exploration Vessel (EV) Nautilus, a 64‐meter research vessel, and partner ships. Participating
high school students will work with scientists at the University of Rhode
Island (URI) Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) to develop a research
project that will culminate with each student joining an oceanographic research
expedition in the summer or fall aboard a research vessel such as the
Exploration Vessel (EV) Nautilus or Sailing Training Ship (STS) Bodrum. The
onshore component of the program will expose students to the interdisciplinary
nature of oceanography and educate them in the fields of geology, biology,
archaeology, chemistry, and computer science as they relate to ocean science
and exploration. While at URI, students will learn how to process, analyze, and
interpret oceanographic data and work on projects that will contribute to the
objectives of the research expeditions they are scheduled to be on. Students
will join expeditions for 7 – 14 days in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, or
the Black Sea and will be immersed as part of the science team on board; they
will conduct data watches and assist with processing of data collected during
the expedition. Upon return to school, students complete a report for OET as
well as present findings to their teachers and classes.

Due 1/6 Report on DNA sequencing, focusing on next
generation sequencing
At the
HHMI lectures we learned that while some data had been collected using Sanger
sequencing almost all the data that was now being collected was done using
“next generation sequencing.” OK…so what do they mean by that. Explain HOW it
works in a way that I can understand.

genetics online “lab” While
I am handing out the lab in class, there is a copy in the shared folder for
those of you who lose the original. The
