CSI Physical Science and Bio Labs
The students participated in two very engaging CSI science labs this week. On Monday the Physical Science class observed two experiments displaying two different reactions that change the temperature of a substance. First they made ice cream by utilizing freezing point depression. Next, they watched our Johns Hopkins volunteers make “elephant toothpaste”, an exothermic reaction.
“We got a refresher on freezing point and freezing point depression, along with catalysts. It was very educational and I got to back up previous knowledge,” said sophomore Aidan.
The next day, the Biology class did an important rite of passage for all high school science students- a frog dissection.
Eleventh grader Olivia said, “I enjoyed seeing all the different organs in person. It gave me a visual for how organs in humans would look. I find the anatomy interesting, especially when it is on a dissection”.
As always, a big thank you to the Johns Hopkins undergraduate students who come lead the CSI labs.
