First grade students studied apples this week in class. Students weighed them, cut them, studied them and of course enjoyed eating them!

Sixth graders have been getting really “physical” about matter.  Labs have been done over states of mater, viscosity of liquids, surface tension and density which are all physical properties of matter.  Students even discovered they could float a paper clip on water due to its surface tension.  Things are really “flowing” and “floating” in science […]

SMU visited campus this week to talk to students about their programs, degrees, admissions process, and scholarship opportunities. Mackenzie Daniel, Brook Hill’s admissions representative, distributed flyers, materials, and bright red pens!

  As part of their study of motion in physics, students did a lab on projectiles to figure out how objects behave when they travel vertically and horizontally at the same time. We had two different types of projectiles (plastic and steel), and we were measuring the range of each projectile using our projectile launcher […]

In celebration of learning the letter “S” PreK students wore silly socks to school!      

Michael Morton was wrongfully imprisoned for 25 years. His wife was murdered; he lost his son;  the legal system failed him. Although he could have given all the glory to his appellate legal team and the rise in the use of DNA evidence, fourteen Brook Hill students heard Morton proclaim that an encounter with God […]

  What’s happening at the atomic level when you see the different colors of light in fireworks or the aurora borealis? Electron excitement, that’s what! Chemistry students learned this week how energy absorption and emission in metals results in a beautiful display of color.  The heavens declare the glory of God, and so do simple […]
