Le Chatelier's Principle shows how reactions can go back-and-forth. One of the easiest ways to see this is with pH - going back-and-forth from an acid to a base. And then there are times when something goes wrong with indicators and you get unexpected colors.

Learning about cells is never fun - you just can't see them, and its hard to understand what you can't see. But when you can see evidence of increased carbon dioxide production due to exercise, it makes it easier to understand cellular respiration. Biology and Chemistry

2Al + 6HCl --> 2AlCl + 3H2 Hydrochloric Acid will eat through the aluminum of a can creating an exothermic reaction. This reaction produces Hydrogen gas (so it is done under the hood), but it does not eat through the plastic of the can (although it becomes brittle).

pH indicators are tons of fun and lots of pretty colors. But not all indicators indicate all pH's.

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
