What's Going On in the Labs?
Biology
Ms. Ryan's Lab Biology students were engaged in a "hands-on" activity modeling enzyme function.
Students in Mr. Basile's Lab Biology class are measuring results from an experiment they designed themselves!
Students in Ms. Russell's Lab Biology class analyzing results for glucose in their macromolecules lab!
Chemistry
Students in our Chemistry classes performed a single replacement reaction, purified their product, and calculated their percent yield.
Mr. Basile's Applied Chemistry students determined the specific heat of unknown metals in a calorimetry lab.
Mr. Stelling's Honors Chemistry class conducted a station lab investigating intermolecular forces.
Ms. Johnson's Applied Chemistry class studied the law of conservation of matter by performing experiments in an open system and a closed system and comparing the change in mass.
Ms. Garcia-Gordon's Applied Chemistry class performed a super saturation lab with a holiday twist.
Mr. Basile's Applied Chemistry students modeled molecular geometry based on VSEPR using balloons.
PhysicsMs. Garcia-Gordon's Honors Physics class participates in monthly engineering challenges. In December, they were asked to build bridges using only pennies. 
Physiology
Students in Mr. Basile's Physiology class diagnose patients and identify organ systems affected in a "A Day at the Clinic"
