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.
