High School science curriculum update

9th-grade Biology students recently learned about how living things use and produce energy.  As part of a photosynthesis unit, students designed and conducted their own experiments to determine the effect of different factors on the rate of photosynthesis.

Currently, Biology students are learning about their DNA making models and creating videos to show how DNA replicates!!!

Anatomy & Physiology students are learning about the structure and functioning of muscles.  Students tested rabbit muscle to determine the effect of different solutions of ATP and ions on muscle contraction.  Students also built sarcomeres using pipe cleaners to show how the proteins, actin, and myosin are arranged within the muscle cell.
