Took a group of students to the Taubman Health Science Library at the UofM Medical School today to explore human anatomy using the 3-D imaging of the Anatomage table. Big thanks to Dr. Pasca di Magliano (Department of Surgery and Cell and Developmental Biology) for the tour.

My FOS 2 students have been working hard on their "Recipe for a Star" research assignment. Come see the creative presentations at our Science, Arts, and Letters night.

We had a fabulous day in FOS 2 exploring the Natural History Museum and making connections to the concepts we have been studying.

FOS 3 students felt the force today as they explored the power of Intermolecular Forces like Dispersion Forces, Dipole-Dipole forces, and Hydrogen Bonds.

I have the absolute BEST peer facilitators around! These two show up to every class ready to offer peer-to-peer tutoring, support, and lab prep help.

Using all of the skills they have learned so far (Stoichiometry, Rxn Rates, Thermochem, Gas Laws, Types of Rxns, Molarity), FOS 3 students had to research different reactions & design a procedure to create exactly 3g of NaCl in our final performance lab. They did a fantastic job!

Today, in FOS 2, we did a lab modeling the probable outcomes of various genetic crosses. What do you suppose the odds are of this particular outcome?

Happy Belated Mole Day!! We had a blast celebrating in FOS 3 today!

FOS 3 students did a great job producing pure copper in today's lab; our first exploration of how to perfect our lab techniques in order to maximize theoretical yield.

FOS 2 students knocked it out of the park this year with their Protein in the News mini-research assignment.

Club Fair today at CHS! Do you love Art and Science? Come join us on Fridays at lunch in room 317.

Feeling the love and appreciation ♡

The beauty and wonder of Science! FOS 3 students created models of the cell membrane using dialysis tubing to determine if they are semi-permeable or selectively permeable like our cells.

FOS 2 students applied their understanding of physics to determine if these buggies do, in fact, travel at Constant Velocity, as advertised.

My FOS 2 students had a blast exploring the vast collection of fossils and artifacts at the UofM Natural History Museum today.

FOS 3 made some great looking soap bars this year. We have been studying the role functional groups play in chemical reactions. No better reaction than Saponification.

[Marcy FOS @marcymcscience]

Today is a special day in FOS 3. Our cumulative project in our Organic Chemistry unit is to make homemade soap!

Another reason why I am so inspired by my students. CHS junior, Parker H, has his first book published and I have a signed copy! #communitydifference

FOS 2 students were invited to hear a lecture by Evolutionary Biologist, Dr. Wooten on the evolutionary success of the dinosaurs.

So proud of my FOS 3 students. They were given the task of making exactly 3.00g of a product molecule in the most efficient way possible, but they had to research and decide which reactants to use. They rocked this lab!
