Forensic science just got personal! 🔬🧬
Students in Mrs. Perry's class dove into forensic biology this semester — learning how DNA is extracted, processed, and used to convict or exonerate suspects. Then came the cool part: they became the evidence!
After swishing with Gatorade, spitting into test tubes, and adding special chemicals, they watched their very own DNA puff up before preserving it in a tiny vial — and yes, they took it home on a necklace!
That’s right — their DNA, outside their body!

Genetics just got spud-tacular! 🧬🥔
Our 8th grade science students wrapped up their genetics unit with a fun, hands-on twist — becoming "surrogate parents" to potato babies! Students paired up, flipped chromosomes, and used Punnett squares to determine their tater tot’s traits — from eyes to sprouts.
After decoding the genotype and phenotype, they brought their unique potato offspring to life with crafty creativity. So much learning, so many laughs — and a whole crop of adorable (and genetically sound!) tater tots!

High School Physical Science students took learning beyond the classroom as they explored inertia right in the hallways!
Using a tennis ball, students observed how objects in motion stay in motion—and how objects at rest stay at rest—unless acted on by an outside force. Seeing this concept in action helped bring science to life in a fun and memorable way.
Hands-on learning + a little hallway space = a great day in science!

In Mrs. Simmonds' science class, students brought cell membranes to life with a hands-on bubble lab! 🫧
Using bubbles to model the cell membrane, students explored how cells allow water and nutrients in while keeping harmful substances out. Their challenge was to keep their “cell” intact while carefully passing objects through the membrane—no easy task!
This engaging lab was a big hit, and students had a blast while learning an important concept in a fun, memorable way.

Ms. Lively’s class brought their A-game to the library this week as they competed in a fun and fast-paced “Library Survivor” challenge!
Students worked in teams to answer questions using a variety of library resources, putting their research skills and critical thinking to the test. From navigating books to digging through databases, they showed just how resourceful they can be!
It was a great week of learning, teamwork, and a little friendly competition. We’re so proud of how hard they worked and how engaged they were throughout the challenge!
Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast next time?

Crime scene alert! 🔍 Our WRJH Forensic Science class investigators were on the case this week — analyzing (synthetic) blood samples to help solve a mock crime.
Using their knowledge of blood types and antigen reactions, students tested samples, identified each type, and compiled detailed reports to help detectives narrow down the suspects.
Who knew science could be this thrilling?
