Finger Prints are unique to every individual. Even Identical Twins have different finger prints. Fingerprints begin to form when in the womb between 17 and 19 weeks gestation. The arches, tentarches, whorls, and loops are influenced by the friction that occurs in the womb from tissues and amniotic fluid. If it is hard to see your fingerprint patterns, finger print a white balloon and slightly inflate it.
Only a few days left in this contest. Please show your support.

Did you know that there is Bismuth in Pepto Bismol? Today, the Chemistry class extracted Bismuth from Pepto Bismol. This is a 2 class process due the filtering. The experiment was determining which ratio of Hydrochloric Acid to water worked the best. This years Chemistry students are lab independent and was able to handle this lab all on their own. (The gray / silver in the evaporating dish is the Bismuth)
The ultimate goal in science is for students to explore and learn on their own; the A&P students had the opportunity today to dissect fetal pigs and cows today. They had previous experience of dissecting rats from Biology class, but they were guided each step of the way. These A&P students were given their specimen and then told to go ahead and dissect on their own and explore what they want to explore - some decided to have partners and some decided to be on their own. These ladies did this with a great level of maturity and pure desire to learn - couldn't be more proud.
Come out next week and support the middle school performing arts class and high school drama class in two fun family friendly productions!
Basketball Bonanza for grades Kindergarten -3rd grade.
While pictures are great - dissecting helps students understand their body by looking at another mammal.
