So proud of this crew! Months of hard work and weeks of practice ended in a fabulous #WSEcohort Showcase this afternoon. Congrats to Ss in each cohort. You showed some fantastic work!

Such a fun way to end our year together! #WSEcohorts

Learning about the Ideal Gas Law: the lower the temp, the lower the pressure and volume and vice versa. The kids loved this part of the demo! #STEM #WSEcohorts

Nitrogen demo from #SubZero #OverlandPark to celebrate a year of hard work!

@WSEMisceCohort members present their originally-designed experiments to @capsbio Ss for feedback.

#WSEcohorts are taking over the ID Lab for #critique and #revision feedback loops.

Our @WSELibrary turned chem lab this afternoon as @WSEMisceCohort members carried out the experiments they designed. Thank you to Dr. Hodges & our fabulous parent & community volunteers for your help. We couldn’t have done it without you! 👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 #studentcentered #engagecommunity

Melting Experiment 2: Which combination of coconut oil and beeswax creates the best chapstick? 🐝 🥥 Ss switched up their procedure to include a smear test to show how it would act when applied. #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

Melting Experiment 1: How does molecular structure effect melting temps in white, milk & dark chocolate? 🍫 #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

DNA Experiment 2: How does DNA extracted from liquid compare to DNA extracted from solids? 🧬 #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

DNA Experiment 1: Do different solutions extract different-looking DNA? #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

Chromatography Experimemt 2: Do flowers of the same color have the same chemical make up? #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

Chromatography Experiment 1: Do dyed flower pigments have the same chemical make up as the pigment in flowers from nature? #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

One florist shop’s trash is @WSEMisceCohort’s treasure! 🌹 Chromatography experiments are ready to roll for tomorrow. Thanks @olathe1hyvee for making it possible! #STEMeducation

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

Kicking off 4th quarter with some team building. So many valuable takeaways as they begin designing their own experiments! #wsecohorts #teamwork

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

Lab Day 2 was a success! Ss experimented with food chromatography, melting temp vs. carbon chain length & DNA extraction. Thank you @followMNU & @capsbio Ss for lending us your expertise! #STEM #WSEcohorts

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

The highlight of their day: Ss got to see their extracted strawberry DNA under a microscope. So cool! @BVCAPS

[WSEMisceCohort @WSEMisceCohort]

What an amazing afternoon! Ss learned so much but more importantly have so many new questions. Thank you @BVCAPS and Dr. Kessler for encouraging our #curiosity!
