Last week we had a little science gallery walk during parent teacher conferences. In it we displayed some student work from Barrett’s Forensics class, my biology, anatomy, environmental science and AP environmental science class, as well as Eremita’s biology class! Here are a few pics.

The 8th grade sciences class have been learning about Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. To put the laws to the test, they created marble race tracks and participated in "The Slowest Marble Race". Students wanted their marble to take the longest amount of time possible to complete their race. They used recyclable materials to build their marble tracks. They were so creative!! Our longest time was 2 minutes and 23 seconds!! They did amazing!

Coach Gunter's Adaptive PE class works each day to improve their athletic skills. We have the opportunity each Monday to work on our golf skills with 1st Tee. These pictures show our dedication and participation. This group works hard every day to improve.
