Ms. Kemple's Biology class is studying photosynthesis and this lab involves photosynthetic pigments. The students are using paper chromatography to separate the photosynthetic pigments in spinach leaves. They were able to see xanthophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Students in Mr. O'Connor's and Mr. Krebs' Physics classes are learning about Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. In cooperative lab groups, students investigated the movements of planets in the Solar System.
Ms. Gilbert's Chemistry class learning to count by weighing various household objects. They started with pennies, went on to pop beads, and finally counted rice or noodles. (No, they did not count the ~7000 grains of rice. They calculated the number based on the mass.)

Great job by our cheerleaders tonight! Love the energy!
Mr. Chen's Honors Physics class were shocked to learn about how charges distribute in conductors. One cannot see the tiny tiny charges but they can feel the charges moving when they interact with the Van de Graaf machine!
Love the energy and enthusiasm from our Pre-K students during their physical education activity! Love having them in our building! Thank you Mr. Glover for making it fun for all students!
Art teachers working collaboratively to develop and refine various bookmaking techniques!
