Science Rocks!

Visiting the science classes at CHS always uplifts and inspires me.  The students engage in real scientific inquiry labs aimed at increasing scientific literary, critical thinking and decision-making abilities for all students.  The teachers promote scientific reasoning that will produce students confidant in their science abilities and capable of furthering their exploration in the sciences.  I'm encouraged that these student SCIENTISTS,  will contribute positively and productively as citizens of our increasingly complex world.

Dr. Bennet's Chemistry-P is a lab-based science which satisfies the physical science requirement for graduation from high school, and the University of California "d" lab science. 

Mrs. Jobsz, Honors Biology.  Check out her well-used website Mrs. Jobsz Website

Ms. Rosenblatt's Physiology class engaged while viewing blood vessels.

From her website:

Welcome to Physiology...its all about you!

This course, quite literally, is all about you!  Why do you breath without thinking about it?  How do you move when you play sports?  What happens to that energy drink once you swallow?  These are all questions that we will be answering this year.  More specifically, we will be studying the physiology behind the human body, starting with tissues, and working our way through all the major body systems.  I'm excited for everything we have planned and am looking forward to start our year!  

Weekly Agenda

Unit 6 Cardiovascular: Blood Vessels

2/9
*Notebooks DUE!
*Blood Vessels Lab
HW: Microscopic Anatomy of Blood Vessels

Next on the tour - Mr. Olivieri's Physics classes. I'm endlessly impressed with the energy and enthusiasm of this master teacher.  He explains the Doppler Effect, while a student demonstrates it on the interactive whiteboard.

'I want to know God's Thoughts'; 'Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind' - Albert Einstein

Then I traveled to the always innovative Mr. Walker's Chemistry Class. The students are absorbed in lab classifying gemstones by their observable qualities.

 Science Rocks at CHS!
