Financial literacy students are learning about taxes and how to file tax returns. To gain confidence in the process, students completed a basic federal tax return using a simple W2 and a 1040.
Last week the Crochet Club spent some time after school making and creating Halloween projects with spooky colored yarn, googly eyes, and a little (or a lot!) of peer support!
Mr. Parmeter's Algebra 1 classes are finishing up the unit on linear equations. The students are applying what they know from class to real world applications. In this math lab students are fitting a line to a set of data, and using that information to predict what will happen in the years to come. The first set of data shows the number of cases of Food borne Botulism in the United States, and the second set of data shows the average and maximum longevity of various animals in captivity.
Sophomores Grace Daley and Addison Greene made productive use of tutorial time by practicing their microscope skills and getting a head start on the upcoming lab activity. Gabby Maleno looks on.

Freshman environmental science students sampled water quality in the on-campus tributary of Trout Run. Using turbidity tubes, they first analyzed the cloudiness of the water. Then, pH was measured with both pH paper and Vernier probes connected to LabQuest interfaces. Finally, a chemical testing kit was used to sample the amount of dissolved oxygen. Results for these parameters varied depending on the location within the stream where the samples were collected.
