I recognized the need for better biological preparation at the high school level and am actively involved in several secondary education efforts. I was a faculty advisor to the United States Biology Olympiad Team involved in exam preparation, student advising and instruction. I have also worked as the MRSEC Director for Outreach, Education and Diversity here at Brandeis. In this position, I counseled area high school biology teachers in methods to incorporate college level molecular biology, biophysics, and chemical biology labs into their classrooms, led high school field trips to Brandeis research facilities and coordinated outreach activities at the Discovery Museum in Acton.
In light of my interest in protein structure, I am studying the importance of learning and manipulation of biological macromolecules in 3-dimensions. I am part of a collaboration with the Biology, Physics, and Academic Computing Departments at MIT to create a free, scalable 3D visualization software engine that may easily be manipulated by students, but has the flexibility and functionality to be used by advance protein biochemists. This program is currently used by undergraduates in introductory biology and I hope to further incorporate it into our K12 outreach effort in connection to the Robbins Family 3D classroom here on campus.
I am currently the academic coordinator for the Brandeis Science POSSE program and summer bootcamp. Each year, 10 talented graduating seniors from New York City intending on pursing science degrees are selected to attend Brandeis as a cohort. In advance of their matriculation to campus, they spend two weeks of the summer in an intense training program experiencing labs, lectures, and assignments that model Brandeis coursework. I facilitate this program and work with the Science Posse students throughout their academic careers here at Brandeis.
"Environmental Systems on a Changing Planet" explores how solar and biochemical energy moves through the Earth's interconnected systems, recycling nutrients; how complex environmental systems function to produce critical resources such as food, water and materials; and how human activities interfere with and impair environmental systems in the Anthropocene geological epoch. Students that want to go into more technical science and engineering depth are invited to enroll in a supplementary 3-unit course taken together with this course.

Welcome to Mrs. Collins Science class! This is my fifth year teaching at Smarts Mill and my 12th year teaching. I am a Loudoun County native and a graduate of Broad Run High School. I am certified to teach preK-8th grade and have a concentration endorsement in math and science instruction. After graduating from Longwood College, I began teaching in Loudoun County and then moved to Tokyo, Japan, where I taught 5th-7th grades. After taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom to my 3 kids, I returned to the classroom in 2015.
High school science teacher, Mrs. Kelly Collins, began her career at PA Distance in 2016 teaching middle school science. She recently switched to teaching high school science which includes environmental science, earth science, and AP environmental science.
Incoming 9th-graders can take one of three science classes: biology, environmental science, or physical science. However, if they were students prior to beginning high school they would have taken physical science in 8th grade. Biology is the only science class that each student must take before graduating. Later on, they also have the choice to take physics and chemistry as upperclassmen.
In addition to the rock and mineral kits, Earth science students receive rock and mineral kits, materials to grow their own crystals using borax and clay. Using the clay, students utilize it to help understand the structure of the earth's crust.

In 2006, Collins wrote the best-selling book The Language of God. It tells the story of his journey from atheism to Christian belief, showing that science actually enhances faith. The tremendous response to the book prompted Collins to found BioLogos. He envisioned it as a forum to discuss issues at the intersection of faith and science and to celebrate the harmony found there. His reputation quickly attracted a large network of faith leaders, including Tim Keller, Philip Yancey, and NT Wright. These and others joined the BioLogos conversation and affirmed the value of engaging science as believers. BioLogos is now an organization that reaches millions around the world.
