Applied Science students studied the different ways water is used in the home and in industry. They finished a lab on how semipermeable membranes are used in kidney dialysis and how osmosis is used to purify water at the grocery store. Nicole Meyers' Art I class finished their large self-portraits and will investigate colors. They will study the color wheel and basic principles of color, culminating with a paint and pastel project at the end of the unit. Her Art II classes are studying M. C. Escher, a famous tessellationist, and will create their own tessellations in the following weeks.
Tessellations are drawings where the artist creates pieces that interlock into a puzzle-like shape.
Advanced Art students are working on a creative self-portrait using all the elements they have learned. Ms. Viets' Calculus class studied integration and finding the areas under the curves using different methods. Pre-Calculus finished studying rational functions and is currently doing exponentials. Algebra II students are working with several kinds of functions, including composite functions and peacewise functions. Adult Living classes, taught by Mrs. Barr, are sewing and learning about clothing care.
