Physical Science students are learning to use multimeters and the color coding scheme for resistors. The series of colored bands on the resistor can be used to determine its value, which is then confirmed using the multimeter.
The Forensics students are practicing their crime scene analysis skills. They process the mock crime scene and then learn how to analyze the evidence they gather. The evidence that they gather will help them solve the crime throughout the class this semester.
Biology took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and practiced their knowledge of the DNA structure with chalk! Knowing the structure will enable them to better understand how changes to that structure impact all of us.
This semester has been full of explosive movements in the weight room for our Strength & Conditioning classes! Here we have two hardworking students completing weighted dumbbell jumps.
