High School Science Curriculum Update


APES
The AP Environmental science class recently explored exposure to toxins in our lives including hidden fragrances - everyone should watch the movie "Stink". We had an enlightening presentation by Medfield parent Erica Reilly on hidden toxins in household items and what we can do about it. The environmental impacts of air and water pollution are also on our agenda - all of this while preparing for our upcoming AP exam.

BIOLOGY
In Biology I students learn about the scientific method and how to write a good lab report. Recently students had the opportunity to apply what they learned by designing their own experiment to determine the effect of a variety of variables on enzyme activity. Students conducted their experiment, then organized and analyzed their data to determine what the effect of their chosen variable e.g. temperature, pH, or enzyme concentration, was on the action of their enzyme.
