FHS students in Mr. Byrne's Engineering II class just completed a unit on electricity and they designed 3D Christmas ornaments that incorporated LED lighting. Their ornaments were very creative as evidenced in the photos. Great work students!
Last week, students in Mrs. Richardson's class had a special guest, Dr. Gina Malczewski, of the Midland Section of the American Chemical Society. She presented a “Chromatography” lesson focusing on mixtures, diffusion and separation with water-soluble and alcohol-soluble pigments. Students tested different color inks on paper to determine their components, and made beautiful art in a Petri dish with M&Ms. Diffusion with sharpie ink was also used by students to make personalized T-shirts.
Earlier this year, kindergarteners in Mrs. Hare and Mrs. Peter's classes drew a monster, and our high school students in Mrs. Keefer's Personal Living class made the monsters come to life by sewing a replica of their buddy's monster. As you can see by the many smiles, delivering the hand sewn monsters this week was so fulfilling for all of our students and it was a great learning experience.
