Junior High Literature and Composition students tapped into their creative side as well as their knowledge of the various elements of fiction and created amazing short stories. Linked below are three featured assignments submitted by Ander, Sam and Meghan.

What’s something to live, if you have nothing to die for? by SAM

In physics, students explored the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Understanding this relationship helped them grasp Newton’s Second Law of Motion (F=ma).

Chemistry students performed a flame test on different samples to help identify the composition of a simple and the energy they emit in the form of light.

 

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate Archimedes’ Principle for an object that is denser than water. Archimedes’ Principle states that an object floating or fully immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The buoyant force on an object immersed in a liquid can also be determined by weighing an object in air and then in water. The apparent loss of weight of the object is equal to the buoyant force of the water. With this information, the students were able to determine the mass density of the different objects and of the fluids.
