🫧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! 🌊🌈
Lady Jays in action vs Harmony!
Practicum in Floral Design student Brielle Bontemps constructed a Texas mum for the school Bluejay!
Honors Biology students in Mrs. Erfurdt’s class are getting hands-on with one of the most important tools in biology - the microscope! Students are learning proper microscope techniques while examining prepared slides and creating their own wet mounts. From focusing and adjusting magnification to carefully preparing and observing, students are building the skills they’ll use throughout the year to explore the microscopic world!
