Another Dissection

Today in Biology 20 we dissected the sea star. Check out our pictures below.

Bio 20 dissects the Crayfish

Today in Biology 20, we dissected the crayfish. The crayfish was our representative member of Phylum Arthropoda. Characterized by its hard exoskeleton, jointed appendages, and segmented abdomen, we got to examine both internal and external anatomy for this amazing animal which so many of us (well, not Ms Roach) enjoy eating.

Race Day in Science 10!

Thursday November 7th was race day in Science 10. We raced our homemade balloon cars to see which of them would travel a minimum of 3 meters and in the fastest time. We had a great deal of success with the top car in Period 1 (created by Chase and Jace) travelling 7.75 m in the fastest time. In Period 5, the top car (created by CJ, Jenner, and Wade) traveled 8m to cross the finish line in first place. Excellent creativity and effort grade 10's! Be sure to check our the pictures and video from period 1.

First Dissection....DONE!!!

Way to go Biology 20 students! Today we dissected our first organism---the EARTHWORM! Equipped with safety goggles and gloves (well at least one each), we examined both internal and external anatomy.

Relating Speed to Distance and Time

Today in Science 10, we calculated our speed, or our change in distance per change in time. We calculated our speed when hopping, walking backwards, walking regularly, and speed walking for both 5 m and 10 m distances.

Edible Cells!

Last week in Biology 30, to conclude our unit on cell structure and function, we created models of plant and animals cells. The cells showcased not only our knowledge of the cell and its parts, but also of our creativity and attention to detail. Check out our work!

Amazing Technology!

Last week the biology 20 students were looking at different protists and thanks to some amazing technology (digital microscopes & laptops) we were able to take some great photos of what we were looking at. Can you identify the protists shown in these images?
