In Mr. DePeri's AP Computer Science class, students worked on creating codes in a program which allows any user and a friend to play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe! Each program provides accurate instructions on how to play each round of the game. Great job students!
Mr. Oki Gunawan, IBM electrical engineer, came in with a grab bag of magnetism demonstrations to Mr. Chen's Physics class showing the fundamentals of magnetism and how it powers our technology in transportation. Our very own Nate Gunawan led the demonstrations!
Students in Mrs. Kemple's Biology classes were challenged to create mitosis posters illustrating the phases of cell division without drawing a single structure. Cell membrane, nuclear membrane, spindle fibers, chromatin, chromosomes, centromeres, centrioles all had to be represented by some type of arts and crafts material that included yarn, ribbon, beads, poms, pipe cleaners, straws etc. Each "cell" needs to display the events that take place during that phase. It's interesting to see the different ways that students choose to represent each cellular structure. Creative energy was flowing and fun was had by all! Great mid-year scientific change up!"
Thank you to our students for presenting "How to be a Good Ally" to our staff yesterday! Great job!
Students in Mr. Chen's Physics class are shocked to find their hair sticking up when they place their hands on the Van de Graaf generator - a machine quickly that fills the surface of a metal sphere with negative charges.
