Biology students in Ms. Tancil's class were able to take part in a Calorimetry Lab using safety equipment and techniques while learning about their metabolism and Cellular Respiration where food is broken down to get ATP energy to live. They burned different foods and measured the temperature change in the water as well as mass change to use a formula and conversions to calculate how many calories/serving their lab measurements gave compared to the actual calories/serving on the food labels. Students always enjoy this lab!
Do you know the Illinois school bus laws? As part of National School Bus Safety Week, please take a moment to review this important information so we can continue to keep our students, families, and drivers safe.
Fire Science students are learning about building construction, fire dynamics, and smoke reading. As part of a group project, they were assigned NIOSH line of duty death incidents that were caused by a fire behavior phenomenon known as “flow path”. They had to summarize the events, develop critical event timelines, identify contributing factors, make recommendations based on what we discussed in class, and share what critical lessons they learned. They presented their projects to the staff chiefs, battalion chief and duty crew members as a “company level” training. They did an outstanding job!
