Physics students are studying the relationship between pressure and volume according to Boyle's law.
Chemistry students test the pH of various solutions using wide and narrow range pH paper.
After learning about series and parallel circuits, the freshmen physical science students got some wires and light bulbs and had to build one of each circuit with a switch operating some of the bulbs.
Freshmen physical science class is currently studying electricity so they had some fun with the Van de Graaff generator and learned how static charge can build up. They explored how an electroscope works and how pieces of paper can be moved by induction.
Chemistry students are testing paint samples to find out if there is lead in the paint.
As we continue through Mental Health Awareness Month, we need to acknowledge that this topic can be uncomfortable to talk about. However, talking with children and adolescents, and building those connections, is one of the best ways to help predict positive health outcomes in adulthood.
It was found that adults who experienced strong connections as youth were 48%-66% less likely to have mental health issues.
