On Tuesday in Mrs. Mize’s 7th grade math class, drawing, algebra, and computer-based research all came together. Students are wrapping up a unit on Ratios, Proportions, and Probability and Mrs. Mize chose a project that would bring a real life application to the classroom in the form of bridges. Students used the computer lab to […]
We have reached a milestone in our study of chemistry this year, stoichiometry. That’s a five dollar word for measuring the amounts of elements in a chemical reaction. The abstract became real in the laboratory this week as we observed the growth a silver crystals on a copper wire. Using some fancy calculations we were […]
In this a physics lab this week, students explored the properties of sound, particularly how the frequency of sound affects the way we hear it. They first used a microphone to record the sounds of two different tuning forks and measured the frequencies of the sound from their data. Students found that a higher frequency makes a higher […]

Students attended sessions led by professionals who are currently working in the fields the students are considering pursuing. Students also had the chance to work with […]
Chemistry students are studying different types of chemical reactions and evidence that reactions have occurred. In this lab, students performed six mini-experiments. They saw a yellow precipitate form when two colorless aqueous solutions were combined. They heated baking soda and saw water condense around the mouth of the test tube and then tested for the presence […]
When third graders came to science lab today, they had to pretend they were on an Apollo mission to the Moon. The title of our journey was “What Is Being On The Moon Like.” Imagine you live in the future and your home is on the Moon. How would their life be different than it is […]
This week in Bible 7, the students were introduced to the eventful life of King Saul, the first king of Israel.Students began by imagining themselves in Saul’s place throughout his major life events found in 1 Samuel and created “diary” entries from our hero’s perspective. On Friday the students prepared a news story detailing the […]
Students in Mrs. Brunson’s biology class got into the lab this week to learn about DNA. Students performed a variety of experiments to see how the principals they’re learning in class look in real life!
Volcanoes were erupting in earth science this week! Students used baking soda and vinegar to erupt their volcanoes and then marked the flow. They then filled in the area where the “lava” flowed with Play-Doh. Then students had a second, third and fourth eruption that they also covered with Play-Doh, creating an impressive shield volcano. Mn […]
