It’s the nutrient testing lab with our year 2 IB Biology candidates. Our scientists conducted tests to determine the presence of different nutrients in food items. #mpsjbio @PowerIB @MPSJ_TCDSB

There’s only 1 thing that can make balancing equations even more exciting that it already is for our grade 10 scientists: The Law of Conservation of Mass Lab! #mpsjscience ⁦@MPSJ_TCDSB⁩ ⁦@PowerIB⁩

Our year 2 IB bio candidates design physiology experiments exploring the circulatory and respiratory systems. 🫀🫁 #mpsjbio @PowerIB @MPSJ_TCDSB

Mrs. Centritto’s new grade 9 scientists apply the scientific method with the “whirly bird” lab- the first lab of their high school careers! #mpsjscience ⁦@MPSJ_TCDSB⁩ ⁦@PowerIB⁩

It’s the first lab of many for our Gr 10 scientists. Students investigate mystery substances to determine if they are ionic or molecular. #mpsjscience @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB

It’s a new school year and we’re already fully immersed in engaging labs & activities.

Our Gr 12 IB bio students wrapped up their circulatory system unit using stethoscopes, sphygmomanometers, and conducting a sheep heart dissection. #mpsjbio @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB 🩺🫀

[MPSJ Science @mpsjscience]

The first lab of many for our IB Bio year 1 candidates. Our candidates practice their new stats knowledge and test their inquiry skills with our classic density of cork and rubber stopper lab. #mpsjbio @PowerIB @MPSJ_TCDSB

Our Gr 10 Scientists use acid-base indicators to identify unknown substances…. and make pretty colours! #mpsjscience @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB 🟣🔵🟢🟡🟠🔴

The organized chaos of making slime as our Grade 12 IBs wrap up their organic chem unit and their high school careers. 😢 #mpsjchem @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB

You know that feeling when you’ve painstakingly applied & dried pigment extract from spinach leaves repeatedly for 15 minutes for a chromatography lab, only to have your chromatography paper fall into the sink ruining all your hard work? Well, at least you can laugh at it now. 😂

Our Gr 12 IB Biology students perform a chromatography lab to separate and identify the pigments in spinach leaves. 🍃 #mpsjbio @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB

Mrs. Centritto’s Gr 12 IBs had a productive day. Working out their brains as they study for a cellular respiration test and working out their muscles as they calculate the energy consumption from performing bicep curls. #mpsjbio @PowerIB @MPSJ_TCDSB 💪

[MPSJ Science @mpsjscience]

It’s the first lab of the semester for our newest Gr 10 scientists in Ms. De Souza and Mrs. Giovinazzo’s classes. They test their deductive skills to determine if unknown substances are ionic or molecular. It’s a chem-MYSTERY! #mpsjscience @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB

[MPSJ Science @mpsjscience]

To quote a student, “This lab is show-stopping!” 😆 @MPSJ_TCDSB @PowerIB #mpsjbio

Last week, Gr. 10 History classes had honor of hearing Holocaust survivor Elly Gotz share his powerful story of resilience & hope. An insightful lesson in courage, dangers of hatred, human rights & importance of remembrance. Thank you Mr. Gotz. @MPSJ_TCDSB @TCDSB @Markus4Ward2

Gr. 12 IB students from @MPSJ_TCDSB visited Queen’s Park and met with the Hon. Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure @KingaSurmaMPP They observed question period and discussed key political challenges. Thank you, Ms. Surma, for your time and insight! @TCDSB

🎉❄️ Our incredible IB students had an amazing time at the annual @MPSJ_TCDSB Snowcial Christmas celebration! From festive fun to building lasting memories, this event truly captured the Christmas spirit. 🌟🎄🎉 @TCDSB @Markus4Ward2 @PowerIB
