In Mrs. Noll's Physics class, we're excited to introduce our new Vernier data collection system into the classroom!
Physics students put the new equipment to work with a free fall lab, collecting real-time data as they investigated the motion of a falling object. Students compared graphed data, and calculated the acceleration due to gravity based on those graphs.

Mrs. Noll's Biology students recently completed the Penny Lab!
After learning about the unique properties of water, Biology students compared regular water to soapy water by seeing how many drops they could fit on a penny. They observed firsthand how soap affects the attraction between water molecules and changes surface tension.

Recently in Mr. Tweed's 8th hour Ag Welding, students had their first day out in the shop!
Students have been working hard to complete their safety unit tests!
In these photos, students were using angle grinders to cut, grind, and prep their metal workpieces for their first day of welding rotations. During this unit, each student will rotate between Gas Metal Arc Welding (wire), Shielded Metal Arc Welding, and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding processes to practice their skills.
Yesterday, the high school cross country team competed in Seneca at their third meet of the season. While the afternoon started off dry, it didn't take long for the weather to turn, and soon the kids were soaked. That didn't slow them down, as the team set a bunch of PRs. Our medalists on the girls side were Ella Seymour (5th) and Rowan Robey (8th), and the girls placed 5th overall. Boys medalists were Max Kane (6th), Tucker Bryant (15th), and Scotty Roloff (17th), with the boys winning the meet handily. All in all, it was the best weather for a meet so far, even with the rain. Thank you to all that have been able to come and support our team at any of their meets so far. Our next meet will be next Saturday at Centralia Lake.
