Our PHS Biology students became scientists as they investigated how isopods (commonly known as pill bugs or roly-polies) respond to different environmental conditions!
To practice identifying the variables of a scientific experiment, students gave the isopods a variety of options, including cedar chips, dirt, apples, ham, and warm and cold environments. They carefully observed the isopods' behavior, recorded their findings, and explored how different variables influence their preferences. 🌡️🍎
What a great way to bring science to life through hands-on learning, observation, and experimentation!

Our 5th grade Panthers have been getting hands-on experience learning important lifesaving skills in Health class! ❤️🩹
Students practiced CPR and the Heimlich maneuver for both infants and adults, gaining valuable knowledge about how to respond in an emergency. 🚑
These are skills we hope they never have to use, but knowing what to do in a critical situation could someday help save a life! ❤️
