    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! 

    bio2  

    Students in Ms. Russell's Lab Biology class analyzing results for glucose in their macromolecules lab!

     

    Mrs. Frasco's Applied Biology students demonstrate their understanding of the unit's topic by competing in heated trivia competition. 

     

     

    Mrs. Frasco's AP Biology class is working on a formal research paper, in which the students study scientific and medical breakthroughs stemming from experimentation with HeLa cells. In preparation, students read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot and participated in online book discussions. 

     

     

    Chemistry

    Mr. Basile's Applied Chemistry students determined the physical and chemical changes necessary to make slime.

    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.

    Physics

    Ms. 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"
