Thanks to @NKCSchools for your support of our Science Olympiad head coach Jennifer Spiegel, semi finalist for Missouri state Teacher of the Year

Proud to support my AP Chem students as they get ready for the big test by rocking the donuts!

Due to the weather the Science Olympiad regional tournament is rescheduled for March 2

From a meteorological viewpoint this storm was a huge disappointment. Just think of all the perfectly good snow days we missed out on because it snowed on a Saturday.

Good luck to Staley’s Science Olympiad team. The season starts now!

Ground based ozone can cause a number of issues from smog to lipid oxidation. Honors Chemistry students study the effects of prolonged ozone exposure on tissues by exposing lemons to O3 gas.

Due to multiple electrostatic attractions, ionic compounds tend to have very high melting points. Honors Chem students study these properties by heating sodium chloride to over 1400 F.

Because I didn’t win the lottery tonight our science classes will be held tomorrow as scheduled. I’m not really surprised as my odds of winning were about the same as they were for people that actually bought a ticket.

So far today we have picked up 1.46 inches of rain, pushing our storm total to 9.23 inches. In an average year, KC receives 38.86 inches. This means we have picked up about a quarter of our annual yearly precipitation in less than a week.

We still have a couple more days of this!

Staley rain totals so far:

Thursday: .05”
Friday: .39”

Current as of 6:45 pm.

Hope everyone has a good second day. Our goose faculty arrived early to beat the crowd. #StaleyStrong

Hope everyone had a happy aphelion day. At 11:46 am the earth reached it’s farthest point from the sun at 94,507,803 miles. In case you were wondering, we will be about 3 million miles closer to the sun at perihelion in January.

Still working on Science Olympiad. Latest job, pulling into Fort Collins CO to help with Wright Stuff at Nationals. Great opportunity to get tips from the best to help our team next season.

Congratulations to Staley’s Science Olympiad team on their fifth place finish at the state tournament!

Time to have fun with fat! Staley's Honors Chemistry kids use organic solvents to study the fat content of common snack foods.

No better way to spend the first Saturday of spring break than getting ready for state Science Olympiad!

[Falcon Science @StaleySO]

Staley’s Science Olympiad team wrapped up the regional tournament with the best point total in our history. Way to dominate!

[Falcon Science @StaleySO]

Way to go Staley! Second place at Science Olympiad regionals and on to state for the ninth consecutive year. Thanks to our alumni for helping us celebrate.

Another invitational in the books. Staley’s Science Olympiad takes fifth among metro schools in the Northland invitational. Next up, regionals.
