🧬🔬 It’s a sweet investigation in Mrs. Watts’ AP Biology classes! Students put their biotechnology skills to the test by solving a “Skittlecide” using gel electrophoresis to analyze DNA from a crime scene. From the lab to real-world applications, these young scientists are cracking the case one strand at a time! 🍬🧪 #APBiology #FutureScientists #STEMinAction

Mrs. Lee’s Essentials Health class has been diving into the cardiovascular system over the past two weeks! ❤️🫀

Students explored the pathway of blood flow through the heart and learned to identify its different parts. To bring their learning to life, they even dissected a sheep heart for a hands-on look at its structure and function. An unforgettable way to see science in action! 🔬✨ #LearningByDoing

Mrs. Lee’s Allied Health class had an incredible day at AdventHealth! 🏥✨

Students toured the hospital and participated in a “lunch & learn,” hearing from professionals across multiple departments. It was a great opportunity to explore future careers and see healthcare in action! 💙 #FutureHealthcareHeroes
