Our Health & Medical Exploration students wrapped up their Skeletal System unit by creating pretzel skeletons! Using different pretzel shapes to represent bones, students showed their understanding of how the skeleton works and fits together. Hands-on activities like this make learning fun, engaging, and memorable!

Before Thanksgiving break, our 7th grade Life Science students completed two exciting labs as they dove into the building blocks of life! 🧬🍓 They extracted real DNA from strawberries and built their own DNA models using marshmallows and Twizzlers. Hands-on learning at its sweetest — and most fascinating!
