MTSS students take a short break from the math curriculum to play March, WE MEAN MATH, Madness! Students created numbers from 0-999 and placed into the bracket for Round 1. Then they used probability by flipping a coin to determine the winners for each round. In Round 2, Round 3, and Round 4 the number with less value won. In Round 5, Round 6, and the Championship,the number with the greatest value won. On Monday, we will all be back to practice in Number Worlds and busy building MATH CHAMPIONS! #growinglearners

HES students in the KRR/LIFE program celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with a delicious and special cake from Sweet Creations on Monday evening (3/18/19)!
Any idea what Principles of Biomedical students are up to this morning? We are working on chromosome splats from HeLa cells. For those of you who don’t know the story, these are Henrietta Lacks cells that are still being used from 1951. We are on the first leg of our journey in this lab. The higher we “splat” from, the better the chances of breaking the cell membrane and releasing the chromosomes. Tomorrow we will stain, seal and view the chromosomes. Wish us luck!
