🔥 Grade 8 Scientists on Fire! 🔥
Our young chemists just proved science in action! First, they tested the Law of Conservation of Mass by reacting acetic acid + sodium bicarbonate in a closed system. Even with all the fizz and bubbles, the mass stayed the same—showing that matter can change form, but it’s never lost.
Then, things heated up with the Fire Bubbles Demo! 🔥 A safe and exciting experiment for students, it perfectly showed combustion, an exothermic reaction where ethyl alcohol reacts with oxygen:
👉 C2H5OH+3O2⟶2CO2+3H2O
The flames were spectacular—but completely safe—demonstrating how energy is released when chemical bonds break and new ones form.
Proud of our Grade 8 students for proving the laws of chemistry and bringing reactions to life! Keep experimenting, keep exploring, and keep shining!
Our Physics class took out of the textbook and into the workshop with their DIY roller coaster project — built entirely from cardboard, popsicle sticks, and imagination.
But this wasn’t just arts and crafts — it was Physics in motion:
They timed marbles racing down drops to calculate speed.
They proved velocity changes whenever direction changes, even if speed stays constant.
And they measured how a steep slope caused a bigger change in velocity over time — the very definition of acceleration.
Every loop, curve, and drop became an experiment. Students collected data, ran calculations, and saw first-hand how Physics explains the thrill of a ride.
What’s most impressive? Their roller coasters weren’t just creative — they were precision-built test tracks for real-world Physics.
Here’s to our Grade 11 & 12 physicists — proving that science isn’t just studied, it’s experienced at full speed!
The JH football and volleyball teams will take on the Caliche Buffs at Julesburg starting at 4:00. Good luck Cougars!
Lady Cougars will travel to Big Springs to take on the South Platte Knights, today starting at 5:00. Good luck Cougars!
Our Grade 7 students wowed us with their Cell Jello Project—creating edible models of plant and animal cells using jello and candies to represent organelles.
Not only did they show off their creativity, but they also proved that learning science can be hands-on, fun, and delicious!
So proud of our young scientists—keep exploring, imagining, and shining!
