A big THANK YOU to Jennie Miller from the Joseph City Fire Department for coming to JCHS's Anatomy & Physiology class and teaching Stop the Bleed.
Tomorrow is the last day to donate items for the FUNDrive! Thank you so much for all of your support!
And then there are days when you you do a lab and it works perfectly and you get pretty colors.
The junior high coding class is starting a unit in which they will be programming games and animations. The students are thinking about what they want to create for a "virtual pet" project. Feel free to help decide what to create. They will be programming a micro:bit board that they will incorporate into the pet made from various craft supplies (which are provided).
When studying A&P - pictures are great, simulations are great, videos are great - but real life touching and dissecting is even better. You will never understand the pericardium unless you see first hand how thin it is, and then try to rip it and realize how tough it is. Can human lung capacity every fill a cows lungs? Nope - different sizes, but watching the way they fill and how is invaluable - shows the importance of deep breaths especially when sick. (Don't worry - there was plastic wrap around that trachea)
A little late - but Valentine's Day isn't complete without a little Valentines chemistry experiment - turning water into blood (ok it's more pink - but a Valentine's pink).
And every Chemistry lab needs tough Chemistry ladies! Careful, they want to mix all the chemicals together.
Is a failure in the lab a real failure?
No it is not.
But there are times when a desired outcome is not reached due to a poorly written lab. This time AI was a FAILURE - it did not produce what was expected.
While AI can be useful, it has a long way to go.
Agua Fria HS reached out and said that they have construction going on at their campus. Parents can park in the bus loop parking lot. Please see the attached map.
If you are going to attend the boys' and girls' games, we think you would just need to purchase a ticket to the girls' game and then stay in the gym for the boys' game. Tickets for the girls' game can be purchased with this link: https://gofan.co/event/3229501
Here is a link to purchase tickets if you will only be attending the boys' game: https://gofan.co/event/3141379
Our HS boys and girls basketball teams are heading down to state tomorrow!
Tonight! Open to the Public! 6pm to 7pm! The 27th Annual Joseph City Unified School District Science Fair is open to the public tonight , Feb. 20, 2025, from 6pm to 7pm in the Old Gym on the Elementary school campus. Come enjoy the projects, perhaps even learn some science. When you find the projects in the photos, shout out, "I found one".
Reminder to everyone!
The boys basketball team is hosting Cibecue tonight at 7pm for their next state playoff game. This will be the last home basketball game of the year. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults. As a state tournament game, patrons will need to purchase a ticket through Go Fan online. We will have QR codes posted at the game for you to pay on your phones. You can also pay in advance using the following link: https://gofan.co/event/3141366
Don't forget- the boys varsity basketball hosts Maryvale Prep for the first round of the state playoffs tonight. The game starts at 6pm. The charge for the game is the same as the regular season and JCHS activity cards still work.
Due to a predicted snowstorm this weekend, we have had to move our boys basketball playoff game from Friday to Thursday, February 13, at 6pm.
Joseph City Preschool will be hosting our first Child Find for Fall 2025. We are looking for children ages 3-5. Please call the elementary school at 928-288-3329 for an appointment.
When studying blood, why not see where you fit in the picture.
Determining your blood type is as easy as a small prick.
A&P students now know what their blood types are.
While AI can be a useful tool, it is not always correct.
Chemistry found that an AI generated lab can be confusing and unclear.
So experiment on what the experiment should be!
These students figured out a way to make the lab work and found that precipitates were caused between Sodium Chloride & Silver Nitrate and Potassium Iodide and Lead (II) Nitrate.
Water lab :
How does surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, buoyancy, and capillary action work in everyday life?
How does different salinities affect buoyancy?
What is Laminar Flow?
Just a reminder that we have some exciting games tonight against Fort Thomas. The games should be a lot of fun. Fort Thomas girls are ranked #! and our girls are #2. Fort Thomas boys are ranked #1 and our boys are #4. The games are earlier than normal: JV Girls-1:30pm, JV Boys- 3pm, Varsity Girls- 4:30pm, Varsity Boys- 6pm. We are expecting a large crowd and recommend showing up early to get a seat.
Attention, adventurers! The Joseph City Elementary School Book Blast event starts next week where we will set off in search of treasure to build our students' home libraries. Follow the steps on the Treasure Map coming home next week to embark on a jungle quest to earn exciting prizes and books. šŗļøšāÆ
