We reviewed for our Bacteria and Virus Quest on Monday, and took the assessment on Tuesday. On Wednesday, students were introduced to the weird (and creepy) organisms that live in a drop of pond water. I took a local sample of pond water and had students identify the different creatures that they found living in the water. We found lots of protists (protozoa and algae), and some students even found worms and arthropods. A few students even brought in their own samples to observe! We discussed the characteristics of the protist kingdom on Thursday, and we will continue to do so after break. On Friday, students took a career survey in the IMC. Students answered 70 questions and reviewed what "career clusters" were best suited for them based their answers. Students were asked to choose three careers that interested them, and these will be used in LA classes after break to begin research for their career project.
A big congratulations goes out to Evan Murley, Jacob Amiri, Kellyn Maguire, and Esabelle Cherry for receiving first place awards at the regional science fair last weekend. They did a fantastic job!
Have a great and relaxing spring break!
