ELA Students Conduct Science Experiment
In Ms. Metcalf's class, students conducted a cross-curricular science experiment with how temperature affects the body before they read Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire." Students also had to be creative and write their name without using certain parts of their hands, just as if they had "frostbite."

Science Students Test Disinfectants
Mrs. McIntosh's class spent the week exploring organisms that make up each of the kingdoms of life, including bacteria. Students collected samples from various locations on campus, including the underside of Ms. Duncan's desk, the boys and girls bathrooms, door handles, cells phones, and desks just to name a few. They plated these samples in Petri dishes with nutrient-rich agar to promote the growth of their bacteria and placed their plates in an incubator. The goal of this activity was to determine what disinfectant was the most effective in inhibiting the growth of a wide variety of bacteria. The disinfectants that were tested included Mr. Clean (1), Windex Multisurface (2), and Lysol Disinfectant (3). Based on the results shown in these images, it looks like Mr. Clean is the clear winner.
