Updates from the classroom!

Chemistry- We are having good clean fun in class! Soapy fun, that is. As part of learning about acids and bases we will be making soaps next week.

In Biology we got to experiment with what factors affect heart rate- they looked at volume of music, laying down, and exercising. What other factors might affect heart rate?

Plants galore! Advanced Biology is going to be collecting plants and creating their own collection.

Environmental Science is doing two really neat projects- an experiment on composting, and research on how to get a hydroponics system in the school so we can serve our own home grown veggies in the salad bar. Yum!

Kitchen Biology is making pickles- we just stuffed the jars today full of cabbage and we will be sampling our goods next week.

And finally, Physical Science is going to be looking at how elements are able to create fireworks.
