Mrs. Dailey’s AP Calculus students applied their knowledge of finding the extreme values of a function to a manufacturing problem. Their task was to construct a box from a 5”x8” index card such that the box would have the maximum possible volume for the given amount of construction material. Students planned and discussed their approaches, and then created the boxes which were then filled with a treat to share!

The SHS swimmers competed in two meets, on 1/6 & 1/20 at RIC so far this new year and all swimmers have dropped time since their first meet in December! We have another States qualifier: junior Ella Bard will join Ella Werbecki at the RIIL RI State Championship swim meet at Brown in March with her very strong 500 yard Freestyle time this past Saturday! Freshman Ella Bowden dropped almost FIVE seconds off her 50 yard Freestyle sprint since her first HS meet last month, and newcomer, junior Tristan Redmond, dropped nearly SIX seconds off his 100 yard Freestyle! One more regular season meet to go, great job Spartans!

Our Biomedical students taking Human Body System have been investigating the nervous system! Students worked on sheep brain dissections last week and built clay models that they used to illustrate and explain the events of an action potential. The purpose of the dissection is to give students the experience of observing several of the key anatomical regions and structures of the mammalian brain and connect these with their associated functions!

Students in Mrs. Dailey’s Topics in College Math class concluded their study of probability by creating games of chance and then inviting Mrs. Kennedys grade 7 math class to visit and play them. Students calculated the theoretical probabilities of their games in advance, then ran the games for the 7th graders while keeping data on the outcomes, and then compared their results to the theoretical values.

Students in Modern World History classes recently completed a unit comparing the Crusades to the modern conflict over Israel. Students reviewed multiple forms of media identifying bias and perspective. Students began to formulate their own opinions regarding the conflict in Israel through an in-class debate. As a culminating event, students acted as journalists, interviewing Salwa bin Ghali from Jenin, West Bank. This interview followed a conversation with Elihay Skital from Ashkelon, Israel. Students engaged in workplace learning by acting as journalists to prepare culturally sensitive, yet thought provoking, questions to pose to both guest speakers. Students were impressed with the passion and completely different perspectives from both speakers!

Students in Computer Integrated Manufacturing have been cycling through stations to learn manufacturing techniques! For each station, students go through an academic phase where they watch a video demonstration and take a safety and technique quiz. Students then move on to the next station where they are given technical drawings for something made using the technique in question.
Students practiced doing electronics soldering by attaching components to a silicon board, then splicing two wires together and waterproofing them with shrink tubing. They also practiced plumbers' work by pipe soldering different types of copper connectors to make a 3D shape, and check if the shape holds water.

Human Body System students enrolled in the Biomedical Pathway have begun investigating the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and its control over the muscular system. Students also got creative and sketched the lobes of the brain and control centers on swim caps and wore them around school showcasing their work!
