Physical Science students simulate the decay of a radioactive element and its half-life another way: the intact Twizzler represents a group of atoms. It is cut in half, weighed, and measured again and again. When too small to weigh or measure, all of the atoms have decayed.
The Child Care class had a couple visitors today - Thanks to the grandma's and aunts that brought them in.
It was Fruit Tart day in Foods class the other day. They all did a great job

There was a battle of the grade levels for Mario Cart Champion during today’s SIP mini sessions.
Freshman Champion: Owen Slock

There was no Sophomore representative so we gladly brought Owen back to test his talents against the impairment goggles. In the near future we hope to name a single BV Mario Cart Champion amongst this group of winners!

Physical Science students are simulating the radioactive decay of an element. This is a random event that is represented by the coin flip. Heads-up, the atom decays; tails up, the atom doesn't decay. The data is used to calculate how long radiation would persist.
