Science Students have been busy experimenting in the laboratory. Chemistry students used density rules to determine if Double Stuffed Oreos were really double stuffed. Biology worked on developing ways to keep fresh flowers fresh longer. The drink PRIME kept them fresh for two weeks! Advanced science students used their knowledge of hydrocarbons to create soap using olive oil and sodium hydroxide.
Mrs. Penick’s Algebra 1 class collected statistical data by testing their reaction time. Students measured when they caught a dropped ruler while doing various activities. For example, standing on two feet vs one foot, dominant hand vs non dominant hand, one eye closed vs both eyes opened. Even Mrs. Penick got in on the action.

The Introduction to Ag class has been working through a unit on Meat Science. Over the past couple days, students researched and then created their own recipes for pork sausage, locally raised by our hog cooperative students. Then they got to taste test them! There were some delicious sausage recipes and some learning experiences about too much seasoning.
We hope to see you all for the AFC Homecoming Parade in downtown Ashton TODAY!
