Me: Hey, what is that stuff? Ss: Acid, we can tell by the indicator color. Me: Nice. How concentrated is it? Ss: We're going to titrate it and find out. Great stuff. #d128DARING #LVilleHIIT

Friday Physics Challenge - Design and construct a simple pendulum that will swing 6 times in exactly 7.6 sec. Oh yeah, and you can't test it before it gets graded. You have to trust your design. They nailed it all day long! #LVilleHIIT #D128DARING

Great job LHS WYSE team, daring to put your science knowledge to the test at MSOE OP Science Comp today! So proud of all the work you do in the classroom and the way you represent our community when you go to these events.

Ms. Brady's APBio students are explaining their Rube Goldberg designs to illustrate the human immune response. Great work! #d128daring

Mr. Kreutz bringing in fresh hearts and lungs (bovine) so our physio students can really experience what those organs are like. Yes, he's inflating those lungs! Totally different than the grey, preserved specimens. Thanks for making the special trip to get them! #d128DARING

Great energy from the sophomore boys to get the night started at Waukegan!

Thinking of going meatless to help the environment? LHS APES classes were sampling sustainable protein sources, sometimes called roasted crickets, to celebrate turnabout Friday. I think Mrs. Goettsche is a convert! How do you say 'yum' in Spanish?#d128DARING

In case you didn't see these, LHS Human Anatomy and Physiology teachers were spreading some science love yesterday. Who can resist Urine My Heart 😍? #d128DARING

Anybody else eat cake periodically? Ms. Rukes has you covered on Mendeleev's birthday! Oh what amazing things we can make with all those atoms.#d128daring

Caught Mrs. Kym's Hon Bio class building models out of neon paper. What are those finished models hanging overhead you ask? Working models of protein channels, those complex structures that control movement across your cell membranes. #D128DARING

Huge thanks to Ursula Ahern, Rep. Mary Edly-Allen, and all the coaches and volunteers at LHS today for Sci Oly! Your efforts to support these kids are amazing! #D128DARING @MaryforIL @IllinoisSO

Thank you Nan Buckardt, Dir of Ed for Lake Cty Forest Preserve Dist, for taking the time to share your expertise with Mrs. Kahn's AP Enviro Sci classes. Your passion for the unique ecosystems in Lake County really shined through all day! #d128DARING

Gotta love a root tip cell in anaphase, right Mr. O? Daring to look at the world through a different lens, way to go 6th period Bio! #d128daring

[DawsonLHSScience @LhsDawson]

First order of business in Ms. Bell's honors bio class today is to check on the growth of some experimental plants. Who remembers finding the ave length of hypocotyls in freshman bio? So cool to see these Wildcats excited about recording and analyzing data! #D128DARING

Of course, the second picture is one of their amazing students taking on the challege.

Here's Mr. Mark putting some finishing touches on the practical questions for today's physics test. Kudos to the team of Buesing, Torrence, and Holder for pushing the assessment envelope for their students. #D128DARING

I remember when I was in biology and my teacher said, "Draw this DNA strand on your desk, then post it on Padlet." Followed by, " Now let's build 3D models and use them to go through transcription. " Wait, no. That never happened. It does now in Ms. Sharp's class. #D128DARING

Max is on his way!

[DawsonLHSScience @LhsDawson]

Mrs. Kahn's AP Environmental Sci class has been fostering a late bloomer Monarch butterfly. 'Max' just emerged from his chrysalis over the weekend, so he's been tagged for research and will be released today. Best of luck on your long journey south Max! #D128DARING
