We've had some really exciting projects and discussions happening in the science classroom. Check it out!
Physical Science --> Students are learning how color and the elements relate to each other, and are applying that knowledge to designing a fireworks display.
Advanced Biology --> Case studies, with their real world applications and mess solutions, are really bringing out the best in the students. With our focus on body systems, students are getting to grapple with medical mysteries and work cooperatively with friends. It is a win-win.
Earth Science --> Ancient Idaho! Each students took a different era in ancient Idaho history and is designing a "exhibit" for our classroom. Some of these are virtual exhibits (think websites) and some are hands-on models.
Kitchen Biology --> For our bellwork this last week we have been focusing on the science of sleep. We had an amazing student-led discussion today where experiments were proposed, questions were asked, and everyone talked about the importance of sleep. Definitely a subject teenagers can get excited about!
Biology --> Personally, I'm not sure there is a happier sight than kids playing in the dirt. Biology students got to do just that yesterday, as they started both an experiment on seed germination, and planted a container garden that spans the bank of windows in the science classroom. We are very excited to get to taste the radishes and spinach.
Chemistry -->In chemistry we had far too much fun making things implode and explode with the power of gas laws. Ask your student to show you how they can crush pop-cans with ice water.
