Forensics class blood typed themselves, determined who they can give blood to and receive blood from, and built genetic punnett squares for probabilities of their parents' genetic blood types.
Due to a unknown network issue, the Intermediate Elementary does not have phone service or internet access.. We hope to have services restored as soon as possible on Monday, March 24th. The rest of the school district is not affected.

Seniors in Mrs. Hoy’s class just completed their senior research project. The students were able to choose any topic to research and had to provide reliable sources with correctly formatted citations. They have been presenting slideshows in class, and yesterday they were able to show off their poster boards to their peers!
Anatomy students used an improvised spirometer to measure their tidal lung capacity. By pushing air into a volumetric bottle, they compared their results to the known normal values. A great way to see respiratory theory in action!
Botany Students in Action!
Our botany students are busy separating worms from the compost, saving them for another round! The vermicompost will be put to good use in our garden beds this spring.
Anatomy Students Investigating Respiration During Exercise!
Our anatomy students are studying the amount of carbon dioxide in the lungs before and after physical activity to better understand how our cells require more energy during exercise, and how carbon dioxide is released as a by-product.
The experiment involves using balloons to represent the lungs, where students fill them with carbon dioxide gas from their own lungs. They then release the gas into a cup of color indicator to measure the amount before and after exercise. It's a hands-on way to see how respiration works in real time!
Our Forensics class is diving deep into the science of toxins! Students are investigating how chemicals affect the body by conducting urinalysis tests for chemical identification.
Game is still on for tonight!!
SHS Blood Drive Information
Our botany students have been hard at work in the greenhouse, carefully transplanting seedlings into larger pots.
