HS Physics!

In Mrs. Ward’s Physics class, students are exploring momentum, collisions, and the forces that occur during sudden changes in motion. They put these concepts into action by designing cars that keep eggs as “passengers” safe. Their challenge: design, build, test, and improve a protective device that keeps the egg intact upon impact. Through hands-on experimentation, students are discovering the real-world physics behind airbags, crumple zones, and seat belts, while learning how mass, velocity, and momentum determine the outcome of collisions. This engaging lab helps students see how physics explains everyday motion and keeps people safe in the real world.

HS Food Science Class!

In Mrs. Ward's Food Science class, students are diving into food safety with a hands-on lab focused on bacterial growth. They’re cultivating bacteria from meat and spinach samples stored under different conditions: some left at room temperature on the counter for 24 hours, and others kept in the refrigerator. After incubation, students are observing and comparing bacterial colonies on Petri dishes filled with nutrient-rich agar. Through this experiment, they gain insights into how storage conditions impact bacterial growth and learn valuable lessons on safe food handling practices.

Check out PHS Chemistry!

In Mrs. Ward’s Intro to Chemistry class, students are uncovering the roots of chemistry through early human practices. Last week, they explored the intriguing process of lactic acid fermentation—a preservation method used by ancient civilizations to keep vegetables safe and flavorful. Through hands-on activities, students are discovering how chemistry has shaped daily life for thousands of years and how lactic acid bacteria naturally transform fresh vegetables into delicious, tangy pickles.
