Our young men have been busy in their Science classes!
In Mr. Moreno’s AP Physics classes, the students were tasked to design a lab to determine the magnitude of the negative acceleration of a ball rolling to a stop. Inquiry based experiments like this challenge our students to think critically and scientifically to solve problems.
In Mr. Bendele’s Biology Honors classes, his students learned about determining the pH of a substance and whether or not the substance is acidic, basic, or neutral.
Dr. Ballesteros’ AP Chemistry class was tasked with creating VSEPR models to prepare for their upcoming exam. VSEPR stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion; this theory determines the bond angles present in various molecules. These hands-on experiments and experiences provide an opportunity for students to learn visually and kinesthetically to enhance their understanding of the material covered.
