Mr. Haselden’s physics students, Dani Weeks and Elias Kief, are busy converting periods to frequencies using wavelengths and time. In their lab, Qualitative Vibrations and Waves, they set up different […]
Continue ReadingPond Water Lab
To begin the chapter on ecosystems, Mr. Haselden’s Biology I class went to the science lab to complete the pond water experiment. They acquired the pond water from down the […]
Continue ReadingFlame Spectroscopy Lab
The K8 Pace class enjoyed the visuals of a flame spectroscopy experiment put on by Mr. Baldrich. Flame spectroscopy is a method to chemically analyze the light from a flame […]
Continue ReadingTools of Science
Ms. Lindsey-Kerce’s science classes are studying the tools of science (measurement and accuracy), discovering evidence for the origins of the universe (electroscope lab), and exploring the properties of life(extracting DNA).
Continue ReadingMicroscope Lab
Mrs. Romero’s fourth grade science class looked at the skin of an onion under a microscope. They were learning about cells and had to draw what they saw under the […]
Continue ReadingKinetic Theory of Matter
Students in Ms. Bonton’s chemistry class have continued their studies of the chemical substances through the application of the kinetic theory of matter. They evidenced the movement of molecular gases […]
Continue ReadingNewton’s Laws of Motion
Eighth graders investigate Newton’s Laws of Motion. Using a fresh egg, cardboard tube and tray, and glass of water, students are able to demonstrate Newton’s First Law. We were able […]
Continue ReadingCompounds
Students in Ms. Bonton’s chemistry class are continuing their studies of the unit on compounds. Students experimented with transition elements in order to determine how electron configuration relates to the […]
Continue ReadingEnvironmental Science – Diverse Ecosystems
Students in Ms. Bonton’s environmental science class have been studying diverse ecosystems. The American Dagger moth caterpillar is one such organism whose life cycle changes as a result of seasonal […]
Continue ReadingEndothermic Reaction…
Students in Ms. Bonton’s chemistry class are seen here experimenting with calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate to produce an endothermic reaction. They are using phenol red to determine whether the […]
