☀️ 🌙 We had fun watching the eclipse! Science students measured wind, temperature, magnetic field interference, humidity, light intensity and UV/AB. There were also eclipse-related snacks. #WarriorReady156 #totaleclipse2024

APES went to the McHenry Wastewater Treatment plant to learn more about how our waste water is treated. They also learned how different pollutants in storm water runoff can have detrimental effects to our river.

Chemistry classes have been busy this week! Mr. Poci's Dual Credit Chemistry made aspirin that they also weighed and tested for purity. Ms. Thompson's and Ms. Leonard's chemistry classes have been observing chemical reactions. #WarriorReady156

Chemistry classes had some fun today experimenting with the bell jar/vacuum pump. What happens to volume as you decrease pressure? 🤔

Appreciation and validation from a former student is wonderful! Truly the best! And even better is hearing how successful he is and that he contributes even a tiny bit of that success back to me. Truly an honor! ❤️ @MCHS156 @McHenrySci #MCHSbiomed @PLTWorg

Honors Human Body Systems classes took a trip to @mcc_edu last Friday to see the cadaver lab and to check out all the amazing Biomed pathways they have to offer!!! Incredible opportunities! @MCHS156 @McHenrySci @MsD_BIOMED @PLTWorg #MCHSbiomed
