The Corpus Callosum is a part of the brain that connects the left hemisphere with the right hemisphere.
When learning a task with a dominate hand (that uses the opposite side of the brain) the task can be quickly learned. When trying to do the new task with the less-dominate hand (the less dominate hemisphere of the brain), the task is more difficult at first, but can quickly be done due to the thickness of the tissue.
Horses have a thinner Corpus Callosum, when training a horse, you teach them on one side and then have to re-teach them on the other side.
Today, A&P students tested their skills with chop sticks and grains of rice in their dominate hand and then tried it with their less dominate hand. Practice makes perfect!
And yes, there is a difference between wooden, metal, and Korean style chopsticks.
Nothing better than Chemistry classes that have achieved full lab independence so early in the school year; you can give them 2 labs and have them do the labs successfully.
Today, we did 2 labs, both Le Chatelier's Principle - Hot/Cold & pH. Le Chatelier's Principle shows a system will shift, establish a new equilibrium and go back and forth.

While working with an actual human brain would be fun, we can only work with a sheep brain.
A&P was identifying different parts of the sheep brain, which is very similar to the human brain.
It is harder to identify parts of the brain when it is not color coded like in diagrams.

Gummy Bear Osmosis is always a favorite - while solution percentage shrinks the gummy bear, which on will make it more fat?
When colors change (and you don't expect them too) it is one of the most fun chemistry labs. Blue Bottle, which is an oxidation reduction lab, it is always fun to see how many times you can get the cycle of blue to clear.
JCHS Auditorium students and staff spent the afternoon using their math skills to calculate the weights and measurements for our large house fronts. to be lifted 20 feet in the air. Come see them in action at JCHS's production of A Year with Frog and Toad! November 12,14,15,21, & 22.

What is the one thing you are given when you are born and you will have until the day that you die?
Your Body!
You need to understand your body since you always have it and rely on it all the time. Sadly, most people know their cars better than their own bodies.
Today, Mr. Hancock and Mrs. Bushman teamed up to talk about what happens to your body as you run the mile and how your breathing works with your cells and how you can eat in a way that that helps your body to be efficient.
According to the California Department of Public Health, "up to 80 percent of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and over 30 percent of cancers could be prevented by eliminating tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and the harmful use of alcohol" (Anatara Medicine, n.d.).

Our Joseph City High School students have been busy designing, modeling, and 3D printing their own creations in our 3D Printing & Computer-Aided Design class! From concept to finished product, theyāve learned valuable skills in design, problem-solving, and precision.
Weāre proud of their creativity and the hard work theyāve put into bringing their ideas to life ā check out some of their awesome projects below! š

Muscles conduct electricity. The heart muscle creates its own electricity. Muscle can only conduct electricity if it has electrolytes. Electrolytes include Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, Chloride, Phosphate, and bicarbonate. Sports drinks have electrolytes in them to replace used electrolytes when exercising. Today, A&P tested a few different drinks to see their ability to conduct electricity. We used 2 methods,, 1- completing a circuit with a lightbulb and 2 - using a volt meter. Coca-Cola did NOT conduct electricity, Ethyl alcohol did NOT conduct electricity, Protein drink DID conduct electricity, salt water DID conduct electricity. So make sure that you drink a sports drink alternating it with water when you exercise.
