They discussed the parallels and discrepancies among all the sequences and their relevance to living organisms. Be sure to inquire if you see one on a keychain or backpack!

Anatomy class built a brain and labeled the structures and some functions. They then had to use them to answer questions about the parts of the brain. They also built a neuron using modeling clay.

Check out this amazing experiment from Mrs. Irving’s chemistry class!🔬🔥 The students explored combustion by adding natural gas to a beaker of soapy water to create bubbles. They then collected these gas-filled bubbles in their hands (covered in soapy water!) and lit them on fire. The flames ignite the gas inside the foam, releasing heat—but here’s the cool part: the heat is absorbed by the water on their hands, preventing any burns! It’s a safe, fiery demonstration of chemistry in action.
