Chemistry Fun

Checking out polymers in Chem today. 

AP Biology students using the new Wi-Fi microscopes (purchased through an FFE Grant) to determine the relative time a cell spends in each portion of the cell cycle.

Stoichiometry

Ever need to double a recipe?  Stoichiometry shows us how to adjust a reaction so we can get the amount we need. Chem students are checking out the reaction between HCl and carbonates. 

Blood Typing

Anatomy students learned about blood typing today. Why are blood types important?

Biology: DNA extraction

Biology students extracted DNA from dried peas and from their cheek cells. They had some amazing results!!

DNA from peas

Human DNA

Bernoulli's Principal

Physics students learn how to do "magic" using Bernoulli's principal.

Reactions

Chemistry students learned about different types of reactions. Here is a very bright synthesis. 

By the time we are done students should be able to identify the type of reaction and predict the reaction products!

Here we are testing the gas being evolved during the reaction. Nothing like setting things on fire to make chemistry fun.
