🫧Learning about cell membranes in a hands-on way! Students in Mrs. Erfurdt’s Honors Biology class used bubble solution to model the cell membrane and tested whether different items could passed through. They also used string to create their own "channel proteins", exploring how membranes control what enters and leaves the cell. A fun way to bring cell transport and membrane structure to life! 🫧💙

Learning Through Hands-On Science!
Our Aquatic Science students in Mrs. Muniz’s classes got hands-on with a colorful Walking Water activity! Students observed how water travels through paper towels while reviewing important concepts like cohesion, adhesion, and capillary action. We then connected these concepts to the real world by discussing how water moves through and impacts aquatic environments and ecosystems. Science is always more fun when we can see it happen right in front of us! 🌊🌈
