AP Biology Lab
Investigates Their Vegetables
|
 Last week in Mrs. Ruskin's AP Biology lab, students investigated photosynthesis, respiration, and fermentation. First they tested various factors that affect photosynthesis in spinach leaves, then they explored environmental variables that control the rate of cell respiration in peas and a variety of other seeds. They also measured the rate of yeast anaerobic fermentation while digesting simple and complex carbohydrates. Finally, they worked together as a team to solve a case study mystery involving cyanide poisoning.

A Hundred-Dollar Proposition
in English 11A
|
English 11A thinks that Ben Franklin and his famous "13 Virtues" to live by is a hundred-dollar proposition. Temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, and moderation are just some of Franklin's precepts that have given students a lens through which to see the decay and decadence of 1920s America - the setting of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic,
The Great Gatsby. Students point out how our Sages (specifically the Rambam with his "Golden Mean") originated these virtues and it is poignant to them how far America has fallen with its superficiality, glitz, and materialism. There is no better book to examine the state of American morals in the early 20th century than
The Great Gatsby
, a title with more than a touch of irony, and there is no better American thinker to remind us of the original "American Dream" than Ben Franklin.

Notable Guest Rebbeim
Give Shiurim at TABC
|
 The Y18 classes had the zechut of hearing a shiur from Rabbi Shalom Rosner, Ram at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh. Rabbi Rosner is world renowned for his many very popular online shiurim, and is the Camp Rabbi and Educational Director at Camp Kaylie. TABC is committed to giving its students exposure to talmidei chachamim of the highest caliber and hearing a shiur from Rabbi Rosner is very much in line with that goal.
|
As we continue our series of shiurim by major Torah figures at TABC, all the talmidim of Y18 were privileged to hear a shiur from Rav Moshe Taragin, Ram at Yeshivat Har Etzion (Gush). The experience was particularly meaningful, as several of our rebbeim at TABC were students of Rav Taragin during their time learning in Israel at Gush.

AP Art History Visits Cloisters
|
The AP Art History class visited the Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's showcase of medieval European art, architecture and gardens. Accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Edelman, and Dean Mr. Poleyeff, the students spent the morning viewing examples of sculpture, reliquaries, architecture, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, tapestries and paintings of the kinds they had been most recently studying. Highlights of the visit included the famed Unicorn Tapestries and Robert Campin's 15th century Merode Altarpiece, a work that is part of the 250 works of art in the AP Art History curriculum.

Senior Mentors & Freshmen
Enjoy Breakfast Together
|
Rabbi Blau's Y18 Chumash shiur had a kumzitz today. We serve Hashem through our intellect and our heart. While the shiur engages in the former every day through intensive learning, it is important to make time for the latter as well, as the shiur joined together in heartfelt song to the Ribbono Shel Olam.
