A HUGE 'Thank You' to Jennie Miller from the Joseph City Fire Department for teaching the A&P class the Stop the Bleed class.
Students now know how to stop bleeding through the use of tourniquets, direct pressure, and packing.
Knowing how to Stop the Bleed is a basic life saving skill.

The Traffic Light redox reaction was more than just red, yellow, and green today.
We had some purples and greys and teals, but it was fun to watch the colors changing today.

While learning about blood, A&P students performed an experiment on themselves by testing their Blood Glucose Level (BGL)at the beginning of class, ate sugary snacks, and then tested their BGL at the end of class to see what the donuts, cookies, and Valentine chocolates did to their blood sugar level.
One student's BGL increased by 12 mm/dL and the other student's BGL increased by 8 mm/dL.

Also, while poking their finger, they tested to see what their blood type was.

Exploring properties of water:
Buoyancy (in the Dead Sea, Ocean Water, and Tap water), Surface Tension, Adhesion, Cohesion, Capillary Action, and Laminar vs Turbulent Flow.
Love watching everyone able to work independently with their partners in the lab!

There are many different ways to check to see if your math calculations are correct., but checking with the teacher is boring . . . . . . how about making playdough?!?!?

Chemistry students had to calculate grams per mole for each ingredient, then they were told how many moles they needed of each ingredient, and then they had to convert those moles into grams.

If their Playdough turned out well, then their calculations were correct!

This lab was written by Mrs. Bushman and can be found on ASU's ASAP website - Molar Playdough.

It can be hard to understand the placement and relationship of the planets to each other, but with the use of Toilet Paper, where each square is 1 AU, it helps . . . . . but it helps more when 1 AU is 2, 3, or 4 squares.

What about the size of planets in relation to the sun? Well when looking at Pluto (since we will always love Pluto being from Northern AZ and Pluto was discovered at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff) . . . . if Pluto is about the size of a dull pencil dot the Sun is as large as it is seen in the pictures.

All of the planets are pretty small compared to the sun.
