Science Department Happenings

We are delighted to share some exciting updates from the Science Department over the past month, highlighting the enriching learning experiences that our young men have been enjoying. These activities are aimed at fostering problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as increasing motivation and enjoyment in learning.
 
Anatomy and Physiology:
In Coach Curran's classes, students recently completed a fascinating dual lab. Firstly, they constructed paper brains, color-coordinating the lobes and assembling the hemispheres. Secondly, the students identified the anatomy of sheep brains and submitted their findings.
 
Astronomy:
Under Coach Curran's guidance, some Astronomy students performed a song representing the five named dwarf planets in our solar system. Alongside this, they have been exploring topics such as comets, asteroids, meteoroids, moons, and dwarf planets.
 
Chemistry Honors:
Dr. Ballesteros's class has been actively engaging in labs and activities to solidify their understanding of various topics, including VSEPR Theory and Molar Conversions. A particularly creative activity involved creating origami models based on different molecular shapes. Additionally, students took part in a scavenger hunt to improve their molar conversion skills.
 
Robotics Team:
Under the leadership of Ms. Jarmon, the Iron Fangs Robotics Team has been hard at work, preparing their robot for upcoming competitions this spring semester.
We are proud of the efforts put forth by the Science Department in providing a stimulating learning environment, and we hope these updates bring you joy and pride as well. If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
