PIZZA MAKING WEEK IN MRS. KELLER’S CLASS!
Students in Mrs. Keller’s classes had a deliciously fun and educational experience during Pizza Making Week! From start to finish, students got hands-on in the kitchen, learning the science behind making the perfect pizza.
They began by making their own dough, hydrating yeast and feeding it sugar to produce carbon dioxide, causing the dough to rise right before their eyes! Students also created homemade tomato sauce and topped their pizzas with a variety of ingredients of their choice.
What a great way to combine science, creativity, and cooking skills. Nice work, everyone!

HANDS-ON SCIENCE IN ACTION!
Mr. Torrens’ Biology students have kicked off a New York State investigation lab focused on solving a real-world problem - preventing bird collisions with windows.
Students are challenged to design and build their own solution using materials like window screens, an embroidery hoop, and textbooks. Through creativity and critical thinking, they’re working to develop a structure that can safely reduce bird impacts.
In the next phase of the lab, students will test their designs using a heavier model bird to determine if their solutions are effective across multiple species.
Great work applying science to real-life challenges, boys and girls!

FORENSICS IN ACTION!
Last week in Mr. Torrens’ Forensics class, students put their investigative skills to the test as they practiced searching for and collecting trace evidence. This included hair, fibers, and other small forms of evidence that can play a big role in solving a case!
Using angled lighting, careful observation, and tape collection methods, students worked to identify and gather samples from various items.
Next class, they’ll take their investigation a step further by analyzing the evidence under a microscope and comparing their findings to known suspect samples.
Great hands-on learning in action!
