Our 7th grade scientists are learning about the Hindenburg explosion and investigating why hydrogen made such a dramatic difference when the airship caught fire in 1937.

This week, we explored the properties of hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis of water. Students observed the gases being produced, tested their flammability, and used their observations to help understand why hydrogen is highly flammable.

Medical Detectives: Time to Find the Right Treatment!

Yesterday, our middle school PLTW Medical Detectives students became doctors! They examined Patient 1’s symptoms and vital signs and used the evidence to determine what disease the patient had. After investigating the clues, they diagnosed the patient with pneumonia!

Today, they took their investigation one step further by figuring out which antibiotic works best against the bacteria causing the infection.

Students used sterile forceps to spread bacteria across a petri dish and then carefully placed three different antibiotic discs onto the dish. Now comes the waiting!

In 24–48 hours, we’ll check the dishes to see how the bacteria responded to each antibiotic and determine which one was most effective.

Our Medical Detectives are learning that science isn’t just about finding an answer—it’s about examining evidence, asking questions, testing ideas, and using data to solve problems!

Sound Waves in Action!

Yesterday, Mrs. Sonaty's 8th grade science students made string telephones while learning about sound waves.

Just when we thought the lesson was almost over, one student asked, “I wonder how far it would work?”

Of course, we HAD to find out!

Our string telephone worked at 55 feet! Now we’re wondering… how much farther can we go?
