What we are up to

Physical Science:
The students are learning all about energy and work. We have done some hands-on labs figuring out the kinetic energy of different objects, and tomorrow we are going to look at different simple machines- from your kitchen drawers!

Advanced Biology:
After learning about photosynthesis and cellular respiration, the students are putting that knowledge into action, and designing experiments to carry out on one or both of the processes.

Earth Science:
This last week has been all about geology, specifically Idaho geology. We created floods and analyzed the evidence left behind, as well as described the difference between different soils.

Kitchen Chemistry:
We just finished a class experiment using cabbage juice as a pH indicator- now we are moving on to small group experiments.

Biology:
We just created a biosphere in a bottle- the students will be checking the growth of microbes every week.

Chemistry:
We have been exploring group dynamics and team-problem solving skills through activities and models involving numbers, classification of matter, and isotopes.
